    Flight status; Still they have this estimated and actual dep/arr time joke in the new website as well. Usually airline publish the scheduled time and actual or estimated time, but UL to show a better picture publishes estimated and actual so it shows only few min +/-. But people know or can find out what is the original time of departure or arrival.

      Dear Philipp,

      Thank you for your updates. I am sure you are aware about the on-going debate as to weather UL is actually getting these A350's or not. No one seems to know what it going on. Is there any way for you to confirm 100% that this order has NOT been cancelled ?

        Yes. I got to know this from a senior captain. He said that if a fully painted tail arrived at the station, the airline is definitely getting the aircraft, but just 3 of them if I'm right. The first is expected to come in June or July.

          I heard currently fully painted tail fin waiting for an attachment with the fuselage of MSN55 (second A350 for UL). Most likely UL will take delivery of those three A350s to replace A332s this year. Shame we still don't know the SL rego for these A350s.

                Eerily very similar to UL; a once iconic brand bought down by government interference, mismanagement and bloated staff. We already had a round of this by shutting down Air Ceylon and starting UL; the default behavior in South Asia seems to be shut down and start a new entity for plundering when the debt gets out of hand

                  any chance they might go with 4R-ADA, -ADB and -ADC since the A343s are all retired now?

                    Biman to Launch Colombo flights

                    Biman Bangladesh Airlines has a plan to reintroduce Biman’s flight operation on New Delhi and Hong Kong routes along with opening new routes this year.

                    Civil Aviation Minister Rashed Khan Menon disclosed this, while replying to a question from a treasury bench member MA Awal in the Jatiya Sangsad yesterday.

                    “We have a plan to expand Biman’s new international destinations including Guangzhou of China, Colombo of Sri Lanka and Male of Maldives side by side with reopening New Delhi and Hong Kong routes in 2016,” he said. The minister also informed the House that the national flag carrier is currently providing service to seven domestic and 15 international flights.

                      MJ need to focus more on Dhaka route, it will be better if they can launch double-daily (14 weekly) flights to Dhaka.

                      Bangladesh’s air transport sector which is experiencing an 8% annual growth rate, thanks to a large number of tourists and non-resident Bangladeshi travelers.

                          Those are published fares.

                          Actual fare is about 300 NUC - about 40,000 SLR.

                          And promo fares of course go cheaper.

                          Where did you get those fares ?

                          And SQ has their 50th anniversary promo fares going even cheaper than LCC fares in some sectors.

                            “We don’t intend to go back down that road (either by investing in or managing other airlines).”- Matt Raos, vice president corporate sales at Emirates

                            EMIRATES has stated that it is no longer interested in investing or managing another airline again, citing an unsuccessful partnership with SriLankan Airlines that concluded in 2008.
