    Haha definitely agree. Then they should issue a second licence to someone else (i.e. another airline or local company) to start up a new airline from scratch.

    With their grandoise plans I'd give Peace Air one year before they go broke if they bought UL.

        PeaceAir CEO Keerthi Dissanayake

        The above gentleman needs to transfer US $ 5.5 Billion directly to the treasury, then Ministry of Finance can immediately process the much awaited UL management agreement and it will include the Mattala airport as well.

        Dissanayake added “PeaceAir is intent on making SriLankan into a global airline that is larger than the likes of Emirates, Etihad and Qatar Airways”


        It’s very unfortunate media coverage given to bunch of jokers – Waste of time & resources

          I e-mailed Lufthansa Consulting this morning and asked them whether they have an agreement with Peace Air.

            Shortlisted three bidders (TPG, a US investment firm, Peace Air and a Maldives-based consortium) are not been selected as a potential partner for SriLankan Airlines. SL Gov is moving to Plan B to find a partner. This news was published in Economynext site.

              I am surprised they are using a old B77W...not a new A333 regional
              Riyadh – Male – Colombo eff 03MAY17 777-300ER with various configurations replacing -200ER, 2 weekly

              I though there are more than 2 SV flights to Colombo

                A bidder for Sri Lanka's loss-making national airline on Thursday promised to appease Lord Murugan and conduct daily rituals if they are given a controlling stake in the airline and the Mattala airport.

                .......
                ......
                ...
                He said he is in talks with Malaysia airlines to buy six A380 double decker aircraft to run Peace Air parallel to Sri Lankan. However, Peace Air does not posses a licence to operate air services, but Wethasinghe said it would be a formality before he got it


                What next? Voodoo and witchcraft to make the debt disappear? Someone needs to admit these people to Angoda very soon.
                Are these people out of their minds. Firstly they wanna purchase the debt redden national carrier. And on top of that the purchasing of the six a380-800 from Malaysia which now a days even reputed airlines like Malaysian and SQ are finding it difficult to fill passengers , in the meantime the CEO of UL saying that this carrier is best suited to operate regional flights and not international.

                I now casually hope that they go ahead with their plans, As it is gonna be a superb drama that's about to unfold, I am pretty sure it's gonna be absolutely amusing to watch, as they are gonna take this airline out of the frying pan and onto the fire.

                  So how about the CMB-JED flight, will it still be operated using a B777-200ER.

                    Translation:- We can't find any serious candidates and we have no idea what to do now.

                    As I stated previously - another EPIC FAIL.

                    Here's an idea Ravi K - close it down asap.

                      2 Weekly - RUH-MLE-CMB - B777-300ER
                      3 Weekly - JED-CMB - B777-300ER
                      1 Weekly - JED-CMB - B777-200

                          The government has identified a Unites States-based company to share in the SriLankan airlines equity under the proposed Private Public Partnership (PPP) model, Public Enterprise Development Deputy Minister Eran Wickramaratne said yesterday. -

                              No pics yet which is probably because they keep it inside: enough hangar space after the year-end dlivery rush.

                              Might be there this weekend and will keep you guys posted.
                              A320neo, 4R-ANA to have its first flight on the 24th of January 2017 as stated by a forum member isn't it? Anyone spotted the aircraft or take any pictures?
