        Mihin Lanka has made a few changes on the Flight Schedule effective 1st February 2012. Highlights are : Jakarta flights are increasing from three to four, Trichy flights are operating during the evening hours, Sharjah flights are up from two to three and Dubai/Kuwait flights decreasing from five to four. Any news when Mihin Lanka gets it third aircraft to the fleet ? When will Manila services be launched ?

                It seems that SriLankan Airlines have cancelled flight to Milano in Summer 2012. I was trying to book a flight from Milano to Colombo, but Sri Lankan airlines doesn't show up in the options on kilroytravels.com. Also at airlineroute.net appears it: http://airlineroute.net/2011/12/12/ul-s12update2/
                The last flight departs Milano 23 March 2012 at 12.45pm via Rome and arrives in Colombo 24 March at 05.05am.

                  SriLankan Airlines was the first of several to choose the IMS systems architecture, equipping two A340 and five A330 aircraft. The RAVE IFE stores content and playback functionality independently in each seatback display unit (SDU). This allows it to eliminate the single-point-of-failure potential problem that plagues airlines, as well as the need for distribution boxes and seat electronics boxes.

                    The Ministry will broaden the operations of sea planes to new locations. This will include destinations such as Jaffna, Iranamadu, Anuradhapura, Pasikuda, Batticaloa, and Kalpitiya.

                        But sadly for SriLankan Airlines A320 it is very hard to get recent pictures.

                        When I searched for pictures, I came across this forum and especially this topic. It has given me many valuable informations that I'll use for both the flightplan and the repaints.

                        My main problem is the A320 with the registration 4R-ABK. I can only found very few pictures of it and I really need to know if it has a sticker (could be Visit Sri Lanka 2011 or the Hambamtoto 2018 logo) on it's left side, you know the side of the airport where the passengers are boarding the plane.

                        Anyone that can provide me with info about this?

                        Also... If anyone know if other A320's apart from 4R-ABM has got the URL changed from .aero to .com? What I can find is that only 4R-ABM has the .com, but I'm not sure about it.

                        I really must say that the SriLankan Airlines livery is one of the finest and most beautiful liveries I've ever seen. Especially the Red-Orange-Green Peacock Bird on the tail, is really a nice logo.

                        Thanks in advance

                                Sri Lanka is recovering rapidly from the civil conflict that has blighted its tourism industry for so many year, and its national carrier is expanding to new markets to capitalise on these new opportunities, as Kapila Chandrasena explains - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzwQMd6s95g
