As an reply to all comments on Fits air, (this can be toooo long to read)
I would like to say, Airlines are dealing with Pax and Cargo, So there should be a reason to fly to a certain destination, our topic is CMB, SL.
If there are no reasons to fly to CMB, pax and cargo demand is decreasing, (simple logic)
That is why many airlines stopped flying to CMB. This is affecting Home based airlines also, our dearest UL and 8D.
Reasons for major issues with UL,
There is an operating profit but losses due to financial costs.
No growth without Fleet modernization or adding even used aircrafts but with a better consistent cabin interiors. (4R-ALT is coming as far as i know, with few more A330s)
No support from Government and Sri Lankan nationals .
Lack of Airport facilities at BIA (typical issue connected with Economic issues.)
8D is currently having many many issues.
As usual finance sucks.
Technical issues are rising due to the age of aircrafts, 4R-EXR is coming back to here after wet -lease ops for G9,
They are reducing CMB-MAA-CMB flights due to lower demand, Like for CMB-MLE-CMB, cannot say the new frequencies.(meanwhile 6E is increasing)
Still DAC route is struggling, but there is a small increment in Pax figures compared to its inception.
CMB-DXB-CMB is performing well, letting 8D to increase frequencies, (can be up to double daily)
Cannot start JED flights with 5 hour airplanes.
No plans for more airplanes, since market prices and lease costs are high due to global shortage. EXR will support if 8D is planning new routes as they said.
Fuel costs are high, and aircrafts are not as fuel efficient as the A32Ns and A320WLs.
On both UL and 8D, commercial teams are lagging behind and even they don’t know about operations.
