isn't UL using RAVE ife. so what's gonna happen

We r already talking to Thales to configure their service framework to build 3rd party applications to run on the Thales Avionics. Initially 6 aircrafts (the new ones to be purchased over next 6 months) will have Thales. Later on it will replace RAVE which is used on board the rest of the fleet. Very exciting this.

Quote from the UL Report regarding IFE and Business Class Seats in the upcoming fleet

The expected fleet renewal heralds exciting times for both airline and passenger.
With new aircraft comes a new Business Class product featuring industry leading Zodiac Cirrus lie-flat suites, which offer 6’ 5” lie-flat seats/beds arranged in reverse herringbone configuration, providing every passenger with direct aisle access.

The Inflight entertainment experience will also see significant improvement with large screen systems in both Economy and Business classes. In seat power outlets, noise cancelling headsets for all passengers and cellular data links supporting SMS and e-mail services are also on the cards.

Few pictures of 4R-ALL when she was landing in Chateauroux for paint work. Guys any idea whether the paint work have been completed for 4R-ALL as this bird sent for paintwork for more than 2 weeks.

Normally they swap planes in the paint-shop at Chateauroux, so 23sep14 nack to Toulouse I would think. An A330 needs about eight working days for paint, it is bigger than an A320 and Chateauroux has not the most modern facilities.

Surprised CMB was not explored by Airblue and Shaheen after PIA pulled out.

I agree, I too was quite surprised that AirBlue and Shaheen bypassed CMB

How did you find out ? I am wondering why Mihin is cancelling the Madurai flights in October. Is it because of the security issues in Madurai and Trichy as they were breaking the Sri Lanka's travel agents.

I flew from IXM last week on SpiceJet the Aircraft was full.
There Certainly is a high pax demand from IXM to CMB and MJ shouldent pull out otherwise it will be completely dominated by SG. Moreover there are a few airlines connecting south inidan cities such as TRZ,IXM,TRV and COK I suggest that more competition on such routes would do us travellers better

At least 139 passengers were stranded at the Trichy Airport after a Sri Lankan Airlines A320 aircraft UL133 from Colombo was allegedly hit by a bird while landing in the city yesterday. What's the rego of that A320? is it still stuck in Trichy?
