Just a fancy term for Rules. See below for an example of the document.

Turkish Cargo is increasing the frequency of freighter service to Colombo Airport from 2 to 3 weekly from 29 October 2018.

New route

IST-CMB-BLR-IST - 1 weekly A33F

Already serving

IST-KHI-CMB-IST - 1weekly A33F
IST-MAA-CMB-IST - 1weekly A33F

Good to see TK is taking advantage of the absense of FitsAir cargo.

Nice! Yes, quite a lot of check flights. Even FitsAir's Cessna has been received approval from CAASL I suppose as it is registered from 'N2027V' to FitsAir registration '4R-EXO'.

Hope to catch it flying soon!

Is Serendib Airways affiliated to the Serendib Air that was flying to Palali fro Ratmalana in the late 90s\early 2000s? Or this is a totally new venture altogether?

No I don't think. I think it is a new venture. Serendib was merged into Aero Lanka back then.

Checked up on Etihad Cargo winter schedule and there are no freighter ops to Colombo nor Columbus anymore, initially, it was thought maybe the winter schedule would contain those when uploaded.
