    4R-EXJ was ferried from MLT to NBO for storage in 2013/2014. Do you know if the aircraft still in NBO or scrapped?​
    Hi, theres a chance of Q2 resuming flights to CMB since 8Q-IAN is back in service now. Heard that it will follow the same schedule. (1 weekly flight). Will update if I have any more information.
    Thanks!!

              hi guys just read this piece of information below in the news paper ! What do you think about this ? Is this a good move ?


              In an ongoing dialogue with Airbus, Ganegoda has presented a series of demands as terms of settlement for the dispute over the aircraft order. These terms, subject to approval by the NPP-JVP government, are seen as a precursor to withdrawing legal action. Currently, there is an active case regarding the matter. Highlighting the staggering losses incurred by SriLankan Airlines between 2014/2015 and 2023/2024, Ganegoda has requested Airbus to provide four new A330-900 aircraft free of charge this year.

                      I saw the flight on FR24 on WED(departed CMB at around 9.30AM local, if i'm not wrong). try viewing arrivals for CMB in fr24.
                      not sure for today though,


                      edit: FR24 data suggests that it might be 3-weekly, as B9 operated to CMB on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th.(wed, thu, fri) and yes, it has operated yesterday
