      Unique, Thanks for the news.

      Take a look at the SriLankan Airlines Aircraft Orders ;

      4R-ABN - A320-214 - MSN4869 -CFM - Lessor : ALC - Delivery : Nov 2011 - Lease-Period : 12 Yrs
      4R-ABO - A320-214 - MSN4915 -CFM - Lessor : ALC - Delivery : Dec 2011 - Lease-Period : 12 Yrs
      4R-ABP - A320- Currently no information found about this aircraft. Delivery to UL around March 2012.

      According to this source, UL is getting Two Airbuses for long haul services. Delivery to UL before March 2012. http://www.news.lk/news/sri-lanka/54...ankan-airlines.

                SriLankan strengthens fleet
                October 19, 2011, 9:54 pm

                By Franklin R. Satyapalan

                The government will take delivery of two A-320 aircraft in December, 2011. Aviation Minister Priyankara Jayaratne yesterday told The Island that this would be in line with the ongoing expansion of the national career.

                The Minister said that government would take delivery of two more A-320 aircraft by March, 2012, and A-380 aircraft, capable of flying long distances, by December 2012. "Additional aircraft are needed to maintain expanding services", the MP said.

                Media Secretary to the Ministry of Aviation Jinadasa Rajapaksa said that the SriLankan Airlines had a fleet of 18 aircraft, comprising five A-320s, five A-330s, six A-340s and two dual engine De-Havilland sea planes.

                Minister Jayaratne said that the Mattala International Airport would be ready for opening by December 2012. It would accommodate the latest A-380 wide bodied aircraft as well.

                The Minister said that almost 60 per cent of the construction of the Air Terminal, Control Tower and runaway had been completed.



                LOL did he mean A330 or is UL actually getting an A380?

                  I think the Airport BIA will be expanded to be capable to land A380s

                          It says that HRH King MR is going to open the new flight simulator bought by UL.

                          They are also aiming to market it in the region.

                          It also says that UL is adding two A320s by the end of the year and two widebodies by next year.

                            Must be some kind of printing mistake.
