    Looks like UL195 (4R-ABQ) to DEL is flying back to CMB. Holding pattern above Puttalam at 11000ft. Probably dumping/ burning fuel. Any idea?

        If I am not mistaken this is a 2nd US Aircraft movement in Sri Lanka this month. Any reason for the visit? I remember it came last Feb23 too.

        Is E4B still parked in Colombo?

        Can someone share photo of C17 & E4B from Colombo?

          An Ethiopian Airline B788 landed at VCBI. Is it here to take personnel for the UN peace keeping?

              Flew UL economy class UL 505 CMB - LHR on last Sunday after 4 years; sad to say that overall the quality of service has gone down badly. Flight was delayed by 2 hours and due to delay our 2 baggage didn't make in to Air Canada connection. Boarding was a mess, the boarding pass had a zone printed but they called for row numbers, with no adequate announcements everyone rushed and it was a mess. Food quality had gone down and no longer same UL food; E.g. first meal was chicken pasta or veggie pasta; no meals with SL theme, the cabin crew only asked for orange juice or apple juice, so no bar service for either meals. No food menu. Second meal was omelette or chapati, again no SL meal.The crew seems to be less trained on customer service. No bar service offered unless you asked; - very disappointed!!!

                    I think this is maiden charter flight but Arkia moved the scheduled flight operations to Colombo to Apr 2024.

                        A Sukhoi Superjet 100 belonging to Red Wings is on its way from ZIA to CMB via SHJ. Is it the first Superjet to CMB?

                            Do you have the aircraft rego? I wonder why small aircraft been used for long haul flight?

                            any photo?

                                Hi all.
                                I'll be on holiday in Sri Lanka and want to take photos airplanes at Bandaranaike airport.
                                Can you tell me the points from where you can photograph airplanes?
                                How do airport security feel about photographing airplanes?​
