      both aircraft also share the same interiors, C36Y263.
      also, 4R-ALU might be not so suitable for a code because 'alu' literally is ash in sinhala.
      Confirming the same, MSN 1060, 1037 both had structural issues.

      Hi, n863gt Is that a Big matter of the Reg : ALU, with the Sinhala Pronunciation of meaning Ash?

              UL is currently on the look out for B737, ATR, A330 and A350 aircraft.
              According to ATDB, MSN 1037 (A330-343E) is going to join UL. Can anyone confirm? Thought the deal was cancelled.

                So happy to hear that even! Keep us posted regarding this!

                    Plans to revive Beira lake seaplane base to boost tourism
                    05 Jul 2025 | BY Staff Writer

                    Defence Secretary Air Vice Marshal Sampath Thuyacontha (Retd) chaired a meeting to discuss reviving Beira Lake as a water aerodrome, aiming to boost tourism and domestic aviation.

                    Cinnamon Air, under Saffron Aviation, is set to lead operations.

                    Key topics included security, environmental concerns, and stakeholder collaboration.

                    The initiative promises faster, scenic travel and enhanced urban connectivity.

                    Good initiative! Any thoughts?

                              The "new" A330, 4R-ALT seems to be having serious reliability problems. From FlightRadar24:

                              01 Jul UL115 STD 1.30 ATD 2.51
                              01 Jul UL116 STD 3.35 ATD 4.37
                              01 Jul UL225 STD 6.25 ATD 1.17
                              01 Jul UL226 STD 11.00 ATD 5.08
                              02 Jul UL189 STD 09.25 ATD cancelled mid afternoon

                              The a/c returned to stand several times before departing on some of the above.

                              Seems to be back in action today, but wondered what the problem is? Is it same problem or various?
                              It's obviously not just the windshield wiper!

                                I think This flight came as a special flight to bring hajj people from mecca .
