    I think fuel is going to be coming from here for now...but it's probably better to pipeline it straight (that's going to be a pretty big distance though) to the airport in the long run.....

      As I knows BIA has piped fuel lines connected with Kolonnawa or Sapugaskanda.Correct me if I m wrong.
      Piped connection to the refinery isn't the same as piped delivery at the tarmac ...

      You dont' send a bowser, you send a delivery vehicle that hooks up the underground delivery pipe to the plane, and pump it out ... than sending large bowsers, which are often the cause of runway / tarmac crashes, and often than ever need wing walkers to ensure the is seperation vs delivery vehicles which are small and easy to traverse ..

        Ok Bro, This means there are no piped lines connected from any refinery to BIA??

            BIA
            It is by rail - tank car(I am not sure sure if they are still doing them)...to Jet A1 tank farms at BIA then piped delivery (This was built with in last 10 years by the Chinese) at the tarmac

            At HRI
            By road to airport and at the tarmac again utilizing bowsers/road tankers

              For instance, a flight that operated CMB-MLE-CMB now operates CMB-HRI-MLE-CMB. The additional cost covers the extra leg and the cycle.

                Will definitely know if it increase by 10% by March 2014; when the next UL annual report is due. UL cost estimates have been quite wonky

                  I too wasn't sure about 10% because it looks too low, given the additional cycle they have to put on the frame. Then again, I thought they must have run the numbers before running their mouths

                              Still looking good for Srilankan.

                              But Turkish will climb up the ladder for sure.
