      Sri Lankan Airlines to fly to Kannur from April

      Starting in April 2019, Sri Lankan Airlines will be flying to Kannur, the newest airport in the Indian state of Kerala, from Muscat via Colombo, said Sharuka Wickrama Adittiya, the airline’s country manager.

      “We have been evaluating the market, fares and competition and the like before we could obtain the necessary permission and take off to Kannur,” Sharuka told the Observer on phone from Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka.

      The documentation, which is under process, will take a month or two for completion, he said.
      “There has been a huge demand for flight services to Kannur. We will be connecting other parts of the Middle East as well with Kannur. We have other countries from this region to be connected and all will commence prior to summer this year,” said Sharuka.

      Weekly or alternate day services will be offered on Airbus 320, which can accommodate 150 passengers. Services will be Muscat-Colombo-Kannur and Kannur-Colombo-Muscat.

      Sri Lanka’s national carrier has, in response to a growing demand from the region, recently boosted its services with daily flights to Colombo from Muscat, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Doha, Riyadh, Bahrain and Kuwait.

      MUSCAT, JAN 2 - Starting in April 2019, Sri Lankan Airlines will be flying to Kannur, the newest airport in the Indian state of Kerala, from Muscat...

      • Another year and more corruption exposed:-

        Dailymirror.lk– Sri Lanka 24 Hours Online Breaking News: News, Politics, Video, Finance, Business, Sports, Entertainment, Travel,breaking news, political news


        Looks like some people pocketed some Commissions on this deal.

        Another bad deal for UL - this is why they are insolvent.

        Good to see Druvi's name in print - he has a lot of wrongdoing to answer for - I understand he's no longer at UL.


        I guess the Joint Venture "by the end of 2018" didn't pan out - there's a surprise!

        Time to roll out another Committee!

        How many people do you need to understand that there is no way out of contracts without a Termination clause?
        Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

        • Search MR had gifted Sumanadasa a car worth Rs.8.2Mn belonging to Mihin

          Mihin Lanka has paid a loan of Rs.8.2 million for a car (Nissan- N16) which was gifted to Astrologer Sumanadasa Abeygunawardena by former President Mahinda Rajapaksa in the year 2007, Astrologer Abeygunawardana informed the SriLankan Airlines Commission yesterday.

          He informed the Presidential Commission of Inquiry (PCoI) into irregularities at SriLankan airlines, SriLankan Catering and Mihin Lanka that in 2007 he had received a call from the ex-Chief Security Officer of former President Major Neville Wanniarachchi to collect the particular car from LOLC at Rajagiriya.

          “LOLC had only given the key of the car to me and I obtained one-year insurance for the vehicle,” he said.

          When State Counsel Chathura Gunathilake questioned about why former President had gifted him such a vehicle he said he had closely associated with the former President and he had been never aware of the real ownership of the vehicle.

          Sumanadasa informed the Commission he had used the vehicle for eight-years (2007-2015) and after the change of Government in 2015 the car was taken back by the LOLC.

          Earlier it was revealed to the Commission that LOLC had bought 26 cars from the same model to use for SriLankan airlines and Mihin Lanka. It was informed to the Commission that LOLC had borrowed Rs.82 million worth loan from the Seylan Bank for the recovery of these 26 vehicles.

          It was revealed to the Commission that Mihin Lanka had paid the lease rental of these vehicles to LOLC.

          • Private GLEX Aircraft Leaves Sri Lanka Illegally

            Colombo (News1st): An aircraft carrying foreign businessmen that landed in the country has reportedly departed illegally. The aircraft with businessmen from China, Singapore, and Hong Kong had arrived on the island on the 3rd of January.

            The aircraft that initially landed at the Bandaranaike International Airport had obtained special permission from the Ministry of Defense to take off and land at the Trincomalee China Bay air force base runaway. The businessmen had then departed the country in the same flight directly from the Trincomalee China Bay air force base, without taking off from an international airport.

            According to the country’s civil aviation laws, an international aircraft can only leave the country via an international airport in the country. Thereby the aircraft had left the country without proper approval.

            It was reported that the aircraft had left the countries airspace using a pass issued by the Immigration and Emigration Department for ships.


            The Aircraft in question is a Bombardier Global Express that violated Sri Lanka's Civil Aviation Laws. In the legal scenario the aircraft should have flown from TRR to either CMB, HRI or RML en-route to HKG
            FR24 states that it is a Privately used Aircraft Registered as VP-CPT

                  http://fitsair.com/cargo-services/
                  It is possible that this is true because they recently purchased a new Cesena for Domestic Operations

                  They operated Freighters on behalf of UL on their MD82 before it was returned back to the leassor which is why they will need to find a suitable aircraft to replace its returned McDonnell Douglas

                  Would be great to see a Boeing freighter in Lanka soon

                        Just type the registration in Google and you'll find what you're looking for.

                        This aircraft is not showing as flying to/from Sri Lanka. Something about the story doesn't add up.


                        Any update on the deleted posts?

                          Hi Ejanson,

                          All the missing posts were restored except couple of posts. Those two missing posts are still under the investigation with Webhost. We have removed the programme which caused an issue for the database so the issue wouldn't affect the posts again in the future.

                            Sounds like the site was hacked - thanks for the explanation.

                              Hi Ejanson,

                              Our website wasn't hacked. The website is currently undergoing refurbishment/upgrade after 9 years. During the upgrade few things went wrong and that deleted some of the posts due to webhost error. I have strongly informed Webhost not to deal with our database anymore. Forum upgrade is on hold due to delay by vbulletin.
