      According to the following source Pope will fly Rome-Colombo on AZ A330-200 and Colombo-Manila on UL A340-300.

      According to the release, the pope would be leaving Rome today for Colombo in Sri Lanka, covering a distance of 7,630 kilometers (4,741 miles). The travel time would be about nine hours and 30 minutes on board an Alitalia A330 airline.

      On Thursday, the Pope would be leaving Colombo for Manila on a Sri Lankan A340 aircraft. Travel time would last for about six hours and 15 minutes.

                        Protocol says, UL should fly him to Manila, and the PR will fly him where-ever

                        Unless due to the change of Administration, somebody didn't want to annoy anybody and did a Plan B !

                        Of course, PR will be more than happy to fly him all over the world, considering the amount of Media coverage they will reap out of it ..

                                The Pope left for the Philippines on board a SriLankan Airlines flight. I thought SriLankan will use A330-343E to transport pope to Manila?
