Originally posted by Banuthev View PostPossibly SriLankan may lease Six of the second-hand A330s owned by other airlines, who are planning to replace some A330s in favour of brand-new A333s. The news that lordvader posted also says that the aircraft delivery starts end of this year. So definately it can't be a brandnew order. Wonder Which A330 variant SriLankan going to lease.

Sri Lanka - India Bilateral Air Services Consultations Soon
The Indian civil aviation ministry plans to negotiate for additional seat entitlement with the governments of
Singapore & Sri Lanka, enabling Indian carriers to add more flights to these countries, civil aviation minister Ajit Singh said on Tuesday.
He added that the seat entitlements available with Indian carriers for Singapore and Sri Lanka are almost exhausted and the government plans to enter into fresh negotiations to seek additional seats. “We will not negotiate with countries until our carriers exhaust their entitlements,” he stated.
Governments negotiate seat entitlements determining the capacity (number of seats/frequency/destinations) available to airlines of both countries.
