    Qatar Airways rushes team to discuss partnership with UL

    A high powered delegation from Qatar Airways is expected in Colombo next week for talks with SriLankan Airlines and explore possibilities of a joint partnership arrangement. The move follows talks President Maithripala Sirisena held with Qatari leader Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani during a two-day state visit to Doha this week. The President had appealed to the Emir to give his request urgent consideration.

    As a result, Qatar is rushing a top level delegation from its national airline. President Sirisena is learnt to have telephoned State Enterprise Development Minister Kabir Hashim in Colombo and asked him to be prepared to receive the delegation. He had also told Minister Hashim that he should ensure SriLankan Airlines is ready for talks on a partnership agreement.

      I very much doubt this is the case. Looks like more Sri Lanka 'Big Talk' imho.
      Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

          Try to get pictures of the first flight today - the ones who work at the airport/will be at the airport at that time.
          By looking at positions of the a333 fleet i guess the aircraft rego 4R-ALM.

                  UL 302 and WY 5302

                  Though equipment is dissimilar I suspect it's code Share.

                  the code is in the CODE

                          Good job !! Good PR !! Nuff said !!!!

                          Especially "GROUP" level.

                          So service your own customers and claim a profit !!!!

                          And the 6.30 ...

                          FFS, why can't the get rid of Mihin, merge, or do something, and do the two class service most airlines in the region are offering, example, Y class with full service, and Y class with no frills ....

                            The interview is from August - not that that matters - it's all BS as subsequent developments have proved.

                            Did Suren get his 10 Million Bonus for failing to do anything whatsoever?

                            Not that it matters - nothing Suren or anyone else does will change the outcome imho.

                                From what I understand, it will be A333 for the full inaugural week, and then will switch to A332
