        Saw the same bird outside the hangar at LHR today (03.08.2025). Do you know what is the Thai land registration of this aircraft? Thai Airways A330-343

            I'm so sorry for replying this late. Just saw this notification. So to answer your question, it was really good. CMB-DEL was fully booked. In fact, they had to offer me a Biz upgrade since there were no Y seats left for them to offer me after a boarding pass mishup (assigning the same seat to another passenger). Return was also similarly crowded. (Both were A320s instead of usual A321s)

                What a lovely sight! Hope Belavia continue flying to Mattala Airport. Heard it carried 277 pax in the first Minsk-Mattala flights. Is there any one know about those two IL76s parked in HRI in the below photo?

                    An Emirates A380-800 (registration A6-EVQ) operating from Dubai to Brisbane made an unscheduled medical diversion to Colombo this evening, where the aircraft landed safely to facilitate urgent care for an ill passenger. Medical teams were on standby at Bandaranaike International Airport to provide immediate assistance.

                              Spotted 4R-ALP at LHR on the 06-Dec. It operated UL505/6.
                              tried to do better in this video with my new Z6 iii camera but having issues while recording video. Error "Recording Interupted Please wait...". Has anyone come across this error on your cameras before? Notsure if i am using less storage sd card in my camera. Currently have 8GB sd card in my camera. Please advise.

                                Heard Air China B74F visited CMB recently transporting aid to Sri Lanka. Any one please confirm? Has anyone noted any other special flights visited CMB carrying aid? Why Sri Lanka not using HRI for handle the flights carrying aid?
