        Good to see Gulf Air back in Colombo ! But Is Gulf Air trying to advantage of Colombo route due to cancellation of most of the SriLankan Airlines in Jan - Apr 2017, due to Colombo run way maintenance?

                      Do you have any more information about whether the parts for assemble MSN7486 received or not? When will they start to assemble the aircraft?
                      Hi Skyliner, Digitalairliners & XFW-Spotter,

                      The parts of MSN7486 (1st A320neo for UL) have had appeared in Hamburg very recently. Do you have more info of types of those parts? Any sign of tail section?

                      1st A320-251neo (MSN7486) is likely to be registered as 4R-ANA in Sri Lanka. Very surprised why SL CAA didn't give the registration as 4R-ABS for 1st A320neo. SriLankan Airlines used to register their A320 family aircraft as 4R-AB*

                      • More conditions set, besides huge termination fee of US$ 98 m; Govt. consults AG

                        Dutch firm ups stakes on Airbus A 350 deal

                        More conditions set, besides huge termination fee of US$ 98 m; Govt. consults AG

                        The controversial payment of US$ 98 million or more than Rs. 14.5 billion to a Dutch firm for the cancellation of the A 350 aircraft ordered by SriLankan Airlines has run into snags.The Dutch firm Aerocap, which had said it had agreed on the low figure of US$ 98 million, is now urging the Government to fulfil further conditions.

                        One is the insistence that SriLankan Airlines should obtain a second aircraft on lease from the company. In addition, it has said, an aircraft now operated by SriLankan and now under lease, should have its period extended. The matter figured at a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Economic Management (CCEM) chaired by Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe.

                        The Committee directed SriLankan Airlines, which received the Aerocap letter, to seek the advice of the Attorney General. More importantly, SriLankan Airlines has also been told to verify with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) whether the payment of termination fee is in line with the conditions set out with the IMF. In addition, the Finance Minister has also been instructed to inform the Aerocap representatives to submit a written statement with the conditions.

                        Some industry sources say it would have been better for SriLankan Airlines to have operated the A 350 aircraft on the Australian route instead of paying a colossal US$ 98 million.

                            It looks like Aercap managed to lease two A350s (MSN 52 & 60) to different customer. May be second A350 (MSN55) still has not been taken?

                            • If UL take that A350, Will they begin a new long haul route to operate? Or will they operate it in current long haul routes which current A333 fleet is operating?

                                In my opinion, Maybe they just wanted to represent NEO with the letter "N". Lufthansa did the same D-AINA
