          Thanks Umedha, Any reason why A6-EVR couldn't get enough fuel from AKL on its flight to DXB? Seems A6-EVR still at CMB.

            World’s largest aircraft touches down at Bandaranaike International Airport

            Colombo, March 5 (DailyMirror) – The world’s largest passenger aircraft A-380 operated by Emirates airlines landed at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) this morning for the third time.

            The airbus touched down at the Airport at 3.10 am today for refuelling en route to Dubai from Auckland in New Zealand.

            The last time the BIA had witnessed such aircraft in 2019, before the Corona outbreak.

            There were 413 passengers and 29 crew members in the airliner, but none of them allowed to disembark, though the giant airplane was on the tarmac for approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes for refuelling purpose.

            Presently the Dubai city is experiencing a foggy weather conditions ahead of the onset of a long summer in the gulf region, and as a result, poor visibility conditions prevail in the vicinity of the airport.

            Hence the pilots had decided to get the adequate fuel needed for this plane to travel several hours, if they find it difficult to land at the Dubai airport at once.

                  The world’s newest passenger plane Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner arrived at Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) at Katunayake early today (27) for the first time.

                  Prior to this, Singapore Airlines used an A-359-900 Airbus aircraft for flights between Sri Lanka and Singapore. Mr. Wasantha Kudalianage said that Singapore Airlines has decided to deploy the Dreamliner Boeing 787-10, the most modern and largest passenger aircraft, as there is a need to carry more passengers and more cargo than the Airbus aircraft.

                        Notsure. But I think it is VT-PRM operated from Hyderabad to Colombo. I think the it was at Colombo for 1 or 2hrs and went back to Hyderabad.

                        Does anybody know the reason for its visit? Any more details about the aircraft?

                              Must be due to bad weather. Currently, 3 aircraft are on holding/delayed patterns.
