      Guys, Is 4R-ADC still in service? I cannot find any movements of 4R-ADC yesterday. I am wondering whether it's been sent for maintanance before return to lessor. http://www.flightradar24.com/data/airplanes/4r-adc

                A330-300 Aircraft 12/2014

                (Not sure with the Dates)
                I think SriLankan fleet will be in better shape after 3 ageing A343s been replaced by brand new A333s.

                In March 2015, SriLankan fleet should have aircraft as below :-

                A320-214# - 4 fleet (ABM, ABN, ABO, ABP : 3 Years old)
                A320-232# - 1 fleet (ABL : 10 Years old)
                A321-200# - 3 fleet (ABQ, ABR, ABS : 7 Years old)
                A330-243# - 4 fleet (ALA, ALB, ALC, ALD : 16 Years old)
                A330-243# - 3 fleet (ALG : 14 Years, ALH : 11 Years, ALJ : 13 Years old)
                A330-343E - 3 fleet (ALL, ALM, ALN : Brand new)
                A340-313X - 3 fleet (ADE, ADF, ADG : 14 Years old)

                Aircraft age is in approx

                    Do you mean 4R-ALD is no longer in SriLankan fleet ? But British Midland was ceased in 2012.

                            Does that means we have a higher load to BKK?

                              The capacity increase to A330 is only up to 15 Jan 15. I believe most prob it will go back to A320 after that... the A330 capacity may be to cope with AUS/NZ rush during dec... the AUS/NZ summer rush has meant that after 1 Dec SQ is operating 5 fights a day between SIN -MEL and SIN-SYD 3X a week and 4 flights a day during other times... Significant capacity increase
