    And yes , I’ve seen a post that UL will fly to Rome on the 9th march.
    If I am correct, UL1505/6 used for repatriation flight to/from LHR and UL1583/4 to/from FCO during Covid times?

        On other note, Is UL planning to fly Rome in coming days?

              Is UL still operating UL503 and UL505 to LHR on the 08-Mar-2026? Does anyone have the flight number of the additional flight to LHR on the 08th?
              Hi Banu, Yes, UL will be operating UL503 and UL505 as per the schedule, the additonal flight is to help with stranded PAX at LHR. The flight number is UL1206, and tomorrow LOT will be deploying another 787-9 from WAW to pick up more stranded passengers in Sri Lanka and the Maldives (LO7235), while Etihad Airways will be deploying their 77W aircraft on EY390 to accomodate passengers whos flight has been cancelled as a result of the war until March 10th. And also, FlyDubai will be operating two additional flights from DXB to CMB (FZ8571), deploying 7M8.

              Noticed that Thai Airways has reduced daily flights from BKK to 5 weekly (Skipping Mondays and Saturdays), starting March 9th.

              Thanks.

I wonder how Summer Flight Schedule is going to be like after airlines cancelling flights to Middle East. If the Middle East tension continue to happen, Do you think UL will expand more flights to South Asia, Australia, Far East, Orient, Europe and Africa in the Summer 2026?

                I believe UL & 8D should take advantage of the grounded flights by EK, QR & EY. Sri Lanka have big market to focus in India and China.
                I don’t think they will be able to do that with the resources they have.

                          Sri Lanka Suspends All Regular Middle East Flights

                          COLOMBO (News 1st); Seven special flights were operated to the Middle East today, the Civil Aviation Authority announced.

                          Director General Dhamminda Rambukwella said that, so far, 380 flights to the Middle East have been cancelled.

                          He added that due to the prevailing situation, all regular flights to the Middle East remain suspended.

                          Rambukwella stated that SriLankan Airlines had cancelled its two scheduled flights today to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia and Dubai.

                          The Civil Aviation Authority said that despite the disruptions in the Middle East, flights to destinations such as the United Kingdom, France, Australia, China, Malaysia, Pakistan, and India continue to operate.

                                Even though FZ is selling flights in their Agent portal and Website, They are cancelling flights in last minute.
                                By checking each airline websites , you can get an idea about their flight operations.
                                UL is operating their UL231/2 CMBDXBCMB afternoon flight on D2, D3, D5, D7 and Daily flights are available both UL225/6 UL231/2 after 12th March.
                                8D is operating daily as per the schedule without any disruption.
                                As per the nature of flight availability, We can assume that DXB Airport management has decided to open Day time slots only.
                                Still FZ B737max 8 jet is AOG at CMB due to a technical issue and EK B777 and A350 are parked.
