RUH-CMB-RUH - 02:00 - 12:35 - 14:10 - 19:45 - SV786/7 - B772 - WE.SA via MLE
As you see above SV's RUH flights going to be operated 2 weekly via MLE. I think UL better increase the frequencies to RUH and it's the only airline operate nonstop between RUH and CMB. Currently UL have 5 weekly to RUH and JED and 4 weekly to DMM in Saudi Arabia.Comment

Both arrival times are scheduled times of the flights. But FZ8557 flight is operating ONLY ON THIS WEEK except Wednesday (Confirmed by FZ website). Maybe FlyDubai has increased frequency of the DXB-CMB route as for passenger demand?Originally posted by Srilankan1 View PostFly dubai operated 2 Flights at the same time Today. Any special reason?

Yes, no more passenger service by B747 to CMB after 28 Mar 2016. But there are cargo operators like CX and some other charter companies do serve CMB with B747s.Originally posted by Srilankan1 View PostComment

Mr Ajit Dias...even your predecessor was complaining about the fuel...ok right now fuel prices have been very low (it has been like that for past 12 months or more)...let's not beat that dead donkey(fuel) any more...here is a novel thought...let look at your operational cost (except for fuel)...like number of employees; loan interest rate like that...work on that...you may see some bright lightSriLankan Airlines has no immediate plans to suspend flights to Rome, Frankfurt and Paris SriLankan Airlines Chairman Ajith Dias said.
Speaking to Daily News Business at the Sri Lanka Economic Summit 2016 in Colombo last morning, he said they will revise these routes and take a final decision in March. "Currently flights to these destinations will operate.
"If we decide to terminate this route we will explore other synergies." "We also have to look at profits from these routes and this is the reason we are currently doing a double daily to London."
Dias said that he believes that the aircraft deployed to these sectors are 'too big' "We will review this factor as well."
He said that all new aircraft have now been delivered to the airline and they are now looking at consolidation. "These will be a saving to the airline with less fuel costs. However 'price wars' among the airlines will not allow us to get the full financial advantage from the fuel savings."

Rodent on board forces Mihin to delay flight
A Mihin Lanka flight bound for Maduri, India encountered a snag on Saturday when a passenger on board the flight found a rodent, official sources told the Sunday Observer.
A rodent was found shortly before take-off on 7:30am on Saturday morning. All passengers had to disembark until flight MJ 307 was cleared for take-off again. The flight departed at 1:12pm, more than five hours after its scheduled take-off time.

Don't expect anything from people who have no airline experience and hold their position due to their political connections.Originally posted by Speedbird View Post
All these people do is talk - because that's all they can do. Ajith Dias is just another NATO member imho.
I've explained how things work at the office and the toxic dysfunctional culture that exists. Until that is tackled this Airline will continue to run massive losses and continue to be run into the ground.
How many of these people could hold the same position anywhere else? Almost none of them.Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this businessComment

When Qatar Airways acquired its first A 380 superjumbo, its Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker (pronounced Bak’r) saw to it that the aircraft did a few low flying sorties for those in Abu Dhabi to see.
Not to be outdone, when Abu Dhabi’s national carrier Etihad received its first A 380, it followed suit with a similar show. Al Baker arrived in Colombo on Thursday on a scheduled Qatar Airways flight. As a two-day seminar on investment promotion got under way, he held talks with Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe on investment opportunities in Sri Lanka.
At the Bandaranaike International Airport, after he was greeted, he asked one of those present why they had a US-built Chrysler waiting for him. He said he would have preferred to travel in a German BMW or a Mercedes Benz.
Oman-born Baker, a reputed businessman, also chairs a number of other companies and holds a private pilot’s licence. Though a few privy to the talks denied any formal talks on Mr. Baker’s most successful expertise — that of running an airline — and declined comment, one source whispers that the subject (of running an airline) did figure informally.
The man who does not mince his words, this source said, prescribed some bitter medicine if the national carrier, which is fast bleeding the national coffers, was to be revived. It seems the locals are finding such medicine difficult to swallow.
I wonder what was the medicine...it is definitely not the Jet Fuel
