            Thanks Serendib for the update. Yeah 4R-ALD was the aircraft which had the technical issue yesterday when it operate UL314. But the issue on this aircraft had been sorted out yesterday and it was operating UL217 to Doha and today is flying to Moscow as UL533.

              Why do you think Melbourne route is important for SriLankan ? I thought SriLankan better strengthen their regional network as they are making losses in long-haul market.

                    I think increase more Rome , Frankfurt flights .An additional European flight like Colombo-Milano-Munich also an option for me.

                        That's why I would like to see a round flight combined with Munich. this may bring pax from Vienna , Prague , Budapest additionally to German tourists.

                          During the christmas time which is the coming months... People visit rome.... So i think... During this time air lanka should increase more flights from sri lanka to rome.... They shold think about it.... More than tourists visit sri lanka... They prefer visit rome in christmas time.... So air lanka can have a outstanding income through this...

                            It appears to be SriLankan going to increase the frequency on Frankfurt (from 4 to 5 weekly) and Moscow (from 2 to 3 weekly) effective Winter 2014. Aircraft to Rome going to be upgraded from A332/A343 to all three weekly A343. They better focus on profitable routes. What do you think ?

                              It's a strength that will only get stronger once UL have their foot on Australian airports. Look at Ek they have flight to NZ via Mel thus carrying full flights from DBX and expanding the network at the same time. This is just my opinion n Australia is the only continent that we still do not operate into. UL ready flys into Europe so why not help European tourist transit in CMB before moving to Aus .. This may increase pax loads instead of flying extra long direct flights.

                                I have nothing against UL start flights to Australia. but do they have enough Aircrafts to cover up? I believe not.
