    Dear All, I was arriving to CMB today morning and surprised to see Turkish A330 was in Sri Lankan hanger. Does anyone has any info about on this?

      Indika, I think it was the TK A333 which damaged it's all landing gears during the hard landing in Colombo , last week.

      Haleef, Is TK A333 still undergoing repairs at Colombo hangar? Is it our UL engineers who repair those landing gears?

      Indika, Which airline did you fly when you visit Colombo today morning? Tell me more about your trip please.

        Notice the similar flight number to UL's scheduled BLR flights
        Hope UL and FitsAir team up and launch a few domestic flights soon
        Did you notice MJ is also using similar flight numbers to UL?

              I think it's still at CMB. It never appeared on radar as departing CMB or flying anywhere else.

                The first spotting opportunity during my holiday in Sri Lanka was on 08/06/2015. We had a 24hrs delay in IST, so ideal moment to go spotting. Shame of the weather.
                Only had my 18-200mm with me, I was not so happy with the final result. But better that than nothing .






























                Hope you like them,

                        Hi Guys,
                        So with all the Criticism, conflict and the decisions taken to merge MJ with UL, i've decided to experience it first hand
                        Planning to depart early next month to MAA and it would be operated on their A321's both ways..... (it was initially 4R-MRE their sole A320, but flightdiary confirmed it to be the A321's)

                        Have any of you guys flown on MJ before?
                        Do share your experience

                          I have flown their A320s and A321s on the DAC route. They are ok for the price
