I thought SriLankan have good passenger/cargo demand on their China flights. Why does SriLankan reducing Guangzhou flights from Daily to 4 weekly.Originally posted by janhongladarom View PostComment

Full aircraft does not mean that they make money - it's all about the yield on any given route.Originally posted by banuthev View Post
Best guess - part of ongoing efforts to reduce losses.Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this businessComment

I have to agree. I think the yield on China-Sri Lanka route seems to be low. Air China was launched the Beijing-Colombo in Oct 2015 but the flight didn't last long. China Eastern is planning cancel the Shanghai-Colombo service from Apr 2017. Therefore only China Eastern will continue serving Chengu-Colombo and Air China on Kunming-Colombo.Originally posted by ejanson65 View PostComment

China Eastern - Kunming - Colombo - Male service operates with A330 replaces B737 - http://airport.lk/flight_info/arriva...t_schedule.phpComment

One reason (Yield is low) for operating into CMB is landing cost and Jet A1 fuel cost is extremely high for a lower service/facility airport. This would not change since monopoly of the ground handling is with UL, landing cost is with AASL monopoly and CPC control the Jet A1 fuel price (which is second highest in Asia - I assume after MLE).Originally posted by banuthev View PostComment

UL 880 is delayed for more than four and half hours. Anyone knows what's going on.Comment

Yes.. why it was delayed ? aircraft is 4R-ALB. I can notice a few UL flight delays since Aug. But I don't think UL still have issues with pilot regarding the breathalyzer test : http://www.thesundayleader.lk/2016/0...-major-crisis/Originally posted by Mach3 View Post

My understanding is that the work to rule is still in place - they may have had an issue finding crew for this flight.Originally posted by Mach3 View PostAlways fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this businessComment
