                    According to reliable sources, FitsAir have an ATR72 in the fleet. I am wondering where does the aircraft is flying out of Colombo.

                      They had an ATR 42 in the past and operated for TransAsia Airways in Taiwan however TransAsia is defunct now and the ATR 42 is now not in the possession of FitsAir which is why they leased this ATR 72

                      So far I do not know the status of the aircraft if it’s in storage at RML or CMB or if it is subleased

                      However I do think that they would utilize it for Domestic Routes in the near future

                        MSN of the ATR72 owned by FitsAir is MSN373. As per planespotter.net, it was operated for Indonesian airline under registration PK-TNL and status of the aircraft is now "stored". As per CAA, the aircraft was last delivered to FitsAir from the lessee in Nov 2017. I was reading from the news FitsAir is keen to operate domestic flight with seating capacity upto 118 seats. It would be better if its been used on domestic flights & short haul routes e.g Gan, Mangalore, Pondicherry etc

                            So the lid has finally come off Pandora's Box!

                            There's plenty more Theft/Fraud/Corruption/Racketeering/Criminal Negligence/Abuse of Power/Treason to be discovered.

                            That includes the involvement of Corrupt Politicians. I doubt the investigation will be allowed to go that far.

                            What's still missing is any actual Accountability - not enough people named. CEO has a name - so does HHR and CCO. These people are Human Garbage - you can quote me on that.
                            Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business
