Yes, SriLankan Airlines is short of aircraft, I think 4R-ALB is not in service since 4R-ALG back in service last week. @haleef - do you know the latest status of 4R-ALB?

4R-ALB back in revenue service as it's operated flight UL225 two days ago.

I don't think so. Business class first started in Dhaka route with 4R-MRC. Both MRC and MRD were not in service for one week in mid May. I think it was for reconfiguration. The next week, MRE was not in service for the same I think. All the three have 12 business seats as far as I know. Don't know about economy seat numbers.

i believe all 3 MJ aircraft now provide business class because -ABL/J has not flown to DAC for the last 2 weeks

No, Jet Airways doesn't operate between Chennai & Colombo thesedays. My friend flew on Colombo-Mumbai-London by 9W few months ago. He said flight is cheap but immigration at mumbai airport was giving hard time for Sri Lanka passport holders. Also there are so many complaints about the same thing.

I doubt SriLankan interested in flying ARN / CPH but it seems to be SriLankan is doing well on Colombo-Moscow route. Frequency of Moscow flights going to be increased from 2 to 3 weekly using A332 effec W14. Few months ago they were planning to utilise the A343 birds for Moscow route but now planned for A332.
