    It's enroute to CMB now. It had actually diverted to DWC (Dubai World Central - new airport in Dubai)

        Service was a hit and miss with catering not upto the mark, while the crew were generally quite courteous and attentive.

                    I just had a look into UL's Flight Inventory System to see the upcoming changes in Summer 2018. I can see Kunming has been removed but Gan Island still online during Summer 2018.

                    The frequency of flights to Muscat, Kochi and Jeddah are going to be increased by one day. SriLankan is reducing London flights to Seven weekly after operating upto 11 weekly in Winter 2017.

                    SriLankan is taking delivery of 4th A321neo in March 2018 but i can't see much expansion during next summer. I wonder 4R-ANE & 4R-ANF are replacing the aircraft in the existing fleet. Must be 4R-ABL but wondering which second bird going to leave the UL fleet during next summer.

                      Hi Harsha & Haleef - Could you please tell us what's the latest update on 4R-MRD ? Is it being painted in SriLankan Livery ? any update on 4R-ALD ? I can't see both birds are flying since past few weeks.

                            Yes, it is being painted at the moment. Not sure about ALD.

                                Hi,
                                4R-MRD is in the 320 hanger. Still in complete white but will be painted in SriLankan Livery in the upcoming weeks probably. 4R-ALD is undergoing C check in the 747 hanger.
