  • Seems like Air Asia SriLanka as well as Peace Air have been nothing but rumors!
    Does anyone have any updates regarding either of the two?

        • A Kolkata-bound Sri Lankan aircraft made an emergency landing at the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport here on Wednesday due to a suspected tyre burst, airport sources said.

          All passengers and members of the crew are safe.

          The Sri Lankan Airline Flight number UL-187, coming from Colombo, landed safely at 11.24 a.m.

          The plane taxied on its own before coming to a stop.

          Earlier, full emergency had been declared at the airport, at 11.18 a.m., for the flight after the pilot contacted the Air Traffic Control.

          The emrergency was withdrawn at 11.24 a.m., the sources said.

          After inspection, a decap was observed in the inner rear wheel of the starboard side of the aircraft.

            No choice we need to stick with Cathay or Jetairways
            SriLankan Airlines is going to increase the frequency of Hong Kong flights from 3 to 5 weekly : https://airsrilanka.wixsite.com/0004

            Good to see SriLankan is now flying only A320neos to HKG.

                Looks like this is the money to pay off the outstanding fuel bill.

                Private banks (correctly) must have refused to lend any money to UL.

                As previously stated this is just another loss for the Sri Lankan taxpayers to absorb.


                Tip:- Get your money out of the People's Bank and the Bank of Ceylon. These banks will become insolvent.


                For Journalists:- Explain to the naive people of Sri Lanka what "letters of comfort" really means!

                    Print media is really a thing of the past - everything these days is online.

                    Here's an example of an online Aviation magazine from The Netherlands that I read (sorry - there's no English version):-

                    Airlines Alaska Air Group neemt Hawaiian Airlines over Airlines Zuid-Korea treft maatregelen na opvallend incident Nieuws Airlines Alaska Air Group neemt


                    Layout is very user friendly and easy to navigate. You can easily select the areas you want to read about. Integrated with YouTube and other social media.

                    This is the way to do things.

                    Just my opinion for what it's worth.

                      Thanks for your opinion.

                      I do agree that print media is a thing of the past. However, I do feel that there is immense potential in the Sri Lankan Market which is pretty much untouched in terms of aviation content and news.

                      The magazines that I usually purchase are usually sell-out's (Airliner World etc) so im just trying my luck

                      Anyhow My concept is different though, as this would be not only a value addition for Air Sri Lanka but something what i'd like to call my contribution to Sri Lankan aviation

                      Like the layout of the magazine but there's a definite language barrier

                                The 4R-ALR was on the ground for 48 days. Why does it take so long to repair the aircraft? more looses for Sri Lanka. QR's A333 has faced the similar incident but the aircraft was put into service on the following day. It just shows how inefficient management we have in Sri Lanka.
