    Hi Guys,

    4R-ANC back in service since yesterday [13-Jan] operated CMB-KWI flights if I am not mistaken. Any photos with new sticker?

    4R-AND is not in service since 11-Jan. Is it also getting special livery?

    Any idea when 4R-ANE will return to service?

    I wonder when 4R-ABS will get SriLankan livery? if i am not mistaken it's still in all white.

    ANE will be back flying by Feb.
    AND is stored, waiting for an engine.

    If that happens, the time to go to Africa will be very short.

    Beijing Capital Airlines will maintain its nonstop Beijing Daxing–Colombo service for Summer 2026. Starting March 29, the Airbus A330-300 will fly weekly on Saturdays, increasing to twice weekly from July 14 to August 25 to meet peak demand. This service provides a crucial direct link for China-Sri Lanka tourism. This is a great opportunity for Sri Lanka. Anyone heard of this news ??

    maybe maintenance for 4R-AND.
    yes, 4R-ABS is still all white, and is the only jet to be so.
    this would be the 2nd year 4R-ANE has been grounded now.
