@ Lordvader - Yes, the A332 you saw in the CMB-Hanger is 4R-ALB, which is being refurbished with the flat-beds in the business class not sure about IFE ... According to the news that Max posted above, this aircraft (ALB) is going to be back in service by this July and it will be used for destinations mainly PVG where UL is looking upgrade the aircraft service.
@ CalgaryLankan - Its a good sign that minister is again mentioning that UL will fly to Toronto from October this year with a seven daily flights, stop over in LHR. Possibly UL will use its own aircraft to Toronto. However still its not very clear whether the stopover airport would be LGW or LHR. When I browse in A.net I found an interesting link about the new Canada-Sri Lanka Air-Bileteral agreement, which was released very recently : http://www.otc-cta.gc.ca/decision-ru...30801&lang=eng. On the agreement say AC will codeshare with UL.
I collected the above information from various sources like A.Net ...Comment

Interesting and looks like some decent decisions. These management changes must be due to the new CEO taking over. Does anyone inside UL have any opinions on these management changes (including the new CEO)? I think any widebody order will have to wait until the new management takes over.Originally posted by lordvaderSriLankan Airlines has appointed G.T.

Hopefully there are some new shops and cafes in it. The current transit area really needs more shops and activities in order to entertain transit passengers (an issue even raised by the AASL Chairman). And the old floor tiles dont match the new marble floor tiles found in the concourse area. This also applies to fittings such as signs. It is important to have one consistent modern look throughout the airport.
Also does anyone know whats happening to the Airbus A320 Mihin has on order? (as per its Wikipedia entry). Im hoping theyll lease at least 2 more A320s this year in order to facilitate expansion. They cant really make much profits or market impact with their current fleet of 2 aircraft.Comment

None on order per my knowledge. ABM and ADG are apparently yet to make first revenue flights. ADG will be mainly operating on UL509.Hopefully there are some new shops and cafes in it.
