    True, It appears to be SriLankan will have 16/153 for A321s and four new A320s going to be reconfigured as 16/120 to allow more leg room in business class. More leg room is essential for these A32Series as they are operating overnight flights to Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Singapore, Mumbai, Muscat, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. These former Qatar A321s going to be leased for four years and they will be replaced by A321 NEOS in the future. 4R-ABR is going to replace 4R-ABJ. Do you know which airline is going to take over 4R-ABJ ?

    I heard Stansted based Titan Airways to take delivery of SriLankan's 4R-ABJ in November 2014.

      Thanks

                British Airways says the decision to cancel flights to Sri Lanka was not related to political issues in Sri Lanka but purely on non-profitability : http://colombogazette.com/2014/10/12...nd-lanka-move/

                  ok let not get mixed up; political issues above ref: to "concerns over Sri Lanka’s human rights record" not LHR - CMB route

                                Do you know if the cabin/seat fittings have been completed for F-WWYX (4R-ALL) ? I can see this bird flew twise this month on 10/10 & 14/10 as a Test/Training Flight.
