    Hi Guys,

    4R-ANC back in service since yesterday [13-Jan] operated CMB-KWI flights if I am not mistaken. Any photos with new sticker?

    4R-AND is not in service since 11-Jan. Is it also getting special livery?

    Any idea when 4R-ANE will return to service?

    I wonder when 4R-ABS will get SriLankan livery? if i am not mistaken it's still in all white.
    maybe maintenance for 4R-AND.
    yes, 4R-ABS is still all white, and is the only jet to be so.
    this would be the 2nd year 4R-ANE has been grounded now.

    Sorry to Say that Banu, Because I believe it is not ethical to post such pictures in Social media platforms/forums before the official unveiling of the special livery/sticker by the airline.
