          4R-ADE still in service according to Flightaware but Flightradar24 is not showing the latest movements of the aircraft. I'm wondering why 4R-ABG is not in service for last 14 days. Perhaps 4R-ABG left the fleet and had been replaced by 4R-ABQ.

              I think 4R-ADE took the President to New Delhi on 26TH MAY.

                  Just following up someone else's question on A330 cabin upgrade? Does anyone have this info? I have a UL flight coming up in about 2 months on 332 and as per seat plan it could be ABC or may be D.

                    Privatization can make Sri Lankan Airlines profitable

                    Privatization could be the answer to Sri Lankan Airlines profitability after efforts to turn it around had been unsuccessful.

                    Colombo needs to review aviation policies as it can't afford to spend taxpayers money on loss-making Sri Lankan Airlines (UL) & Mihin Lanka (MJ), which bled 30.1 billion rupees (230 million US dollars) last financial year.

                    UL management would have to be serious in finding ways to make profits, whereas, as a government-linked company, the perception was that it was alright for UL to even record losses.

                    Privatizing UL may change this and the airline can probably make money instead of losses.

                      4 years too late imho. Debt loads are too high for this to succeed as a private company. UL is insolvent - debts far exceed assets.

                      What is needed is an independent financial audit of UL and some accountability. Wishful thinking on my part.
                      Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

                              321's are going to be replacements or additional Aircrafts?
