    Any idea whats the fate of those WY 332/3s ? Will they return to WY fleet? Any possibility WY resuming direct flights to CMB? I see OV reducing CMB flights from 5 to 2 weekly in Feb25. Not sure why?
    Looks like QR will be deploying 77X cargo freighters to CMB on a weekly basis. (www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/qr8535) ​​​

    Unlikely for those A330s to be returned to WY's fleet. They have completely ended operations on the A330 last April, These A330s will be staying with QR for now until more planes arrive to sort their shortage of aircraft after the dispute with Airbus over the A350 paint issue. Not Sure what's going to happen with the fleet, but will most likely be stored or someone else might pick them up.

    I guess Q2 couldn't make the route work as it couldn't transport cargo between CMB and MLE ever since their A320 stored in KUL in Sep24. May be thats the reason Q2 wetleased BBN Air B73F to transport committed cargo on CMB-MLE from end of Sep to end of Dec24. May be Q2 carried some pax on ATR infrequently until termination. May be i am wrong.
    Q2 did not wetlease BBN. It was a charter from another company, nothing to do with Q2.

    As per updates from Haleef, 4R-ANE and 4R-AND are supposed to fly in the coming months, they are just waiting on engines as per this article.
    So far, there haven't been any updates on 4R-ALT, does anyone have any more new information?
    I see 4R-ALT visible on Google Map but not sure if its very recently captured by Google.

    Authorities at SriLankan Airlines had paid the US $ 900,000 a month for three years as the lease for three aircraft despite them being grounded due to lack of engine spare parts, a minister said.

    Transport, Highways, Ports and Civil Aviation Minister Bimal Rathnayake told journalists that one of these aircraft had now been put in use, and the remaining two would be in operation by April.
    ​

    Following a special discussion held at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA), Transport, Highways, Ports and Aviation Minister Bimal Ratnayake has decided to make the necessary arrangements for the government to begin domestic flights in the country.

    The discussion, held recently at the airport, focused on the rapid increase in tourist arrivals. It was decided to expand the airport facilities as much as possible.

    It was also agreed that at least 20 check-in counters should be added to the existing ones, and a site inspection was conducted for this purpose.

    Additionally, the need to improve airport facilities and invite other international airlines was also emphasised. With about 12 million air passengers expected to travel annually by 2028, the Minister gave instructions to prepare for this growth.

    As all these activities are linked to tourism, it is clear that these steps will help elevate tourism, one of the country’s main sources of income, to new heights.​

    Hi Banu,

    Yes I missed HYD, probably CCJ will be removed from the list. And also there is a possibility of ACMI operations with another middle east carrier.

    Current Seat config :

    4R-EXQ : 8Y+ 150Y
    4R-EXR : 8Y+ 150Y
    4R-EXS : 180Y
