      Aaqib and Azamh said there were two Air China B737BBJs visited Colombo last week.
      Was tracking this aircraft yesterday it took of from CMB at around 1:45pm heading to MLE no idea why it retuned back though.

                  Looking forward to see the pics.

                  Please tell us about your flight UL364/365. How is the passenger load on those flights? I'm not sure why UL reduced the frequency of flights to CGK from Daily to four weekly.

                    Flight was quite good! Passenger loads were a bit full on 364, and coming down on 365 on the 2nd Jan, the load wasn't much. Other than that everything was going smooth, along with decent food, but rough weather mostly during flight to CGK on 364.

                          SV is currently flying leased B744 to CMB for umrah charter. SV's Colombo schedule flights are being operated with B772 and B773s.

                          Do you know when it's landed in RML ? I found the below pic on net. It's RML.

                            I have a screenshot of the bombardier flight path from FR24 as well. It circled twice before it eventually landed in RML. Flight originated from CMB.

                            It landed at around 10:30am yesterday.

                                According to AASL, Business Jet Operations will be handled at RML between Jan and Apr 2017. It's due to resurfacing work for Colombo Airport runway.
