    which 777 can fly non-stop CMB-YYZ ?

    Oh, then, crew commonality ? Or is UL minting money and not telling anybody - minting enough money to train new crew and infrastructure on B 777 ?

      77W should be able to operate CMB-YYZ-CMB without penalties, although it may be pushing it closer to the edge. However, like mentioned above it does not make sense to re-invent the wheel with Boeing just for the sake of a couple of frames.

      UL should get this idiotic idea off their heads that opening up new routes to all the fancy cities is going to help them keep their nose above the water.

      They need to increase frequnecy in to their existing posts and solidify their position and make a profit first before embarking on extravagant projects.

      Operating daily direct flights to Asian / Chinese destinations should be their priority.

        I think UL management has realised that and even tried to cancel a few European destinations before being overruled. IMHO they should leave most of Europe to their Etihad codeshare and maybe only operate flights to London, Frankfurt and Paris. UL should focus on Asia & Middle East where the growth is. However I think that UL could start a flight to Africa and try market CMB as a stopover to China. Even MJ could possibly fly to Tier 2 Chinese Cities and former Soviet States which have good potential.

                Or perhaps the Test Flight was operated by 4R-ALJ which is going to start the revenue operation at anytime because the seat installation has now been completed.

                  Maybe a real "TEST FLIGHT" of the Flight Info system

                  I don't remember test flight being listed in any FIS - as the FIS is meant for passenger info ..

                            Also if possible help me tracking that like you did for 4R-ABP using flightradar24.com
                            SpiceJet takes delivery of DHC-8 on 14th May. Any news about Spicejet flying Madurai to Colombo route ?

                              Hi Banuthev, official announcements not let out from SG yet. Rumours/unofficial updates are that Shri.Ajit Singh (Hon. Minister of Civil Aviation of India) is visiting Madurai in coming June. I hope for an official announcement from SG at least after their aircraft delivery. But their service is going to be most likely the first International flight from IXM.

                              By the way, SG have got approval for 6 more sectors :
