    Malaysia Airlines to increase Colombo service from 7 to 10 weekly effective 27th October 2014. Any idea why Malaysia Airlines was reduced the Colombo service in Summer 2014 from 10 to 7 weekly.

      Could be more profitable to fly to European countries for the summer holiday period rather than to SL so they shift some of their flights for the summer. I would assume there's a greater demand for flights to Malaysia/SE Asia around this time (and then again around Xmas).

        But MAS operates B737-800 to SL, so shifting their SL flights to Europe doesn't make it technically possible.

                      Thanks Srilankan1. 4R-ABR looks a bit odd without Sri Lanka flag next to cockpit window.

                      4R-ABR ferried to Zurich on 18/8/2014 for maintanance. Any idea if this aircraft will get new UL interiors prior delivery to SriLankan.

                            Mihin Lanka and SriLankan airlines be merged: The Parliamentary Select Committee on Public Enterprises (COPE) had recommended that Mihin Lanka and the national carrier SriLankan Airlines be amalgamated and brought under one management, the Chairman of the Committee, Minister D. E. W. Gunasekera said yesterday.

                              4R-ABR is to receive the new cabin at Zurich, so will continue its journey in two to four weeks, pending on any possible unexpected difficulties.

                              By the way any idea which registration the FITS Aviation MD82SF freighter has taken up?

                                Will this 4R-ABR get the same seat configuration like 4R-ABQ which has 16/153 ? I heard from Sakith that 4R-ABR will be in operation end of Oct.

                                Fits Aviation's first MD82SF had been registered as 4R-EXM. Pictures : http://www.airsrilanka.org/showthrea...ull=1#post8213 . They placed an order second MD82SF from Alitalia. Any idea about latest status of the second MD82SF for Fits Aviation?

                                Dimonim Air (Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta) will lease the sole ATR 72-200(F), PK-HVH (cn 373), belonging to Sri Lankan carrier, FITS Aviation (8D, Colombo Int'l), for use on its internal Indonesian network.
