These aircrafts are not belonging to QR. It has a QR registration but the aircraft owner is still LATAM. QR hired those few years back to fulfill their increasing demand and expanding network.

Ok. thanks. Any chance A7-AMB gets water salute at Colombo Airport?

Thanks to Jerome Hewapathirana for the picture of A7-AMB. Sadly no water salute for her, but it will continue to be a regular operation replacing Airbus 320.

Please do not share the image outside of the forum.

Thanks ever so much Haleef and Jerome for sharing the picture with us. Nice shot !

Really sad the A350 didn't get water salute on its first inaugural flight to CMB. What time A7-AMB landed at CMB ? What's the gate number? I'm wondering why there is no aircraft in the background ? normally 12 to 3 midnight is a peak hours at CMB.

This is at gate Bravo 14. It had arrived at 0250hrs. Pity no water salute, but since it is a previously-operated flight, and only aircraft change, I think that's why no water salute.

That is true. Second A350 is off to CMB from DOH, operated by A7-AMA. Any chance of more pictures?

yes, we need plenty of pictures! no chance to see LATAM directly operating from South America to Sri Lanka.

Hi LoveUL4ever, Any reason why QR selected these LATAM aircraft to fly Colombo ? any possibility QR operating Colombo with A350 that in QR-livery? i can see A7-AMB is flying again to Colombo.

So far there’s no talk about operating a QR own A350 to Colombo. I think the reason to operate this LATAM aircrafts is the capacity. The capacity in QR A350 is less than the LATAM aircraft. However this LATAM aircraft operating to Colombo will be replaced by A320 again in the mid of September or October.
