        Lousy deal brought on by the dumb idiots who came to run the airline in the yamapalana govt.

            SriLankan Airlines plans Frankfurt relaunch

            As the SLTPB works on approval from the Sri Lankan government to allocate $2.4 million to help attract foreign tour operators, the country’s national carrier is now considering relaunching direct flights to Frankfurt as of 2021.
            Nothing is definite - just more wishful thinking imho.

            The reasons major carriers do not fly to Colombo.

            - Seasonal destination.
            - Low yielding destination with very little Premium traffic.

            It's simple Economics - they can make more money operating to other destinations.


            UL lost a lot of money operating Frankfurt flights - these were stopped for a good reason.

            What has changed since then? Nothing - this route will just result in more losses if it is restarted.
            Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

                    This is the time to retire this 4r-als aircraft and replace with a brand new a330neo.

                        Hi Azamh,

                        Any idea why Cathay Pacific has reduced the frequency of flights to Colombo from daily B773 to 5 weekly A333?

                            Cathay flew daily to CMB before easter Sunday attacks but cut frequency to thrice weekly afterwards. But they have increased it to 4 weekly since November. CX has cut frequency to more destinations due to prevailing uncertainity in Hong Kong.

                                .

                                Would be great if that could be done.
                                Let's wait and see.

                                    This lease is part of the termination agreement for the first A350's.

                                    The fact that no details about this lease have been made public tells me all I need to know!
