Previously if any thing happens to Colombo...All flights were diverted to MAA...New runway was open sometime in late 80...earlier they used the existing taxiway as the runway (so it is not 40 Years)...requirement for runway maintenance/the second runway is due for a while (at least 10 Years); but the GOSL every time avoided addressing the issue...they got their priorities wrongOriginally posted by NeatStuff View Post
But you are right MAA is not a option for runway maintenance; thats why AASL have delaying this for last 10 yearsLast edited by Speedbird; 06-11-2013, 12:51 PM.Comment

I am not sure about B777...even B777-200 requires 2440M http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B777...and definitely not for A340sOriginally posted by Banuthev View PostComment

Guys - keep an eye on first 787 service to Colombo by LOT. So far no any info in the flightaware and they have one 787 stuck in BKK due to some technical issue. Flight number 6521 (not 6651 as reported by airlineroute.net.

Absolutely Not...This is landing; What would be the take off take off weight...MTOW is 2240meters for 777-200 and there are only 88 x 777-200 built by BoeingOriginally posted by dilushasg-bdavi View Post

Hopefully there will be a water canon salute even though it is a charter flight.Comment

@speedbird: use ur common sense if dis 777-200 landed on dis runway......of course it wud takeoff from the same 2000m runway on its return journey to tokyo.......Comment

^^^buddy yes 777-200 aircraft will take off at 2000meter but at what weight? not at MTOW...do you know what MTOW means?Originally posted by dilushasg-bdavi View Post
& do you understand the pages 8,9, 10 and 11
777-200 requires 2440 meters @ MTOW and 777-200 HGW requires 3400 meters @ MTOWLast edited by Speedbird; 07-11-2013, 12:46 PM.Comment

i knw wat MTOW is : Maximum Takeoff Weight....................FYI: 95% of the flights around the world do not run at full capacity!!!!! if u put MTOW to the equation, an A340, B777, B747 would have never takenoff from CMB where the rwy is 3350mComment

Yes now let get back to original question of operating 777-200 to RML. Only operator who operates 777-200 to Colombo is BA. (I think BA operates -ER). So let say BA operates 777-200 to Colombo and return destination is LGW. which bit longer than a Japanese domestic route. So can RML handle 777-200 in case of CMB runway maintenance answer is NO. Because there no operators who operates 777-200 to Colombo on a short distance.Originally posted by dilushasg-bdavi View PostComment

Guys, but in a positive note, if you calculate daily take off landing in CMB, more than 60% are narrow body aircraft, which can easily accommodate on RML.
A320 AirArabia, Mihin, Srilankan, ThaiSmile, Qatar, Etihad, RoyalJordanian, Maldivian
B737 FlyDubai, JetAirways, OmanAir, AirIndia Express, Malaysian Airlines, ChinaEastern
A321 Mihin, AirIndia, Qatar
Q400 Spice Jet
How ever despite above capability on runaway, i am really doubtful that RML has capacity on passenger handling and related infrastructure.Comment

That is true; GOSL should have developed RML as primary LCC airport and reduce the pressure in CMBOriginally posted by indika7777 View PostComment
