    The world’s most popular flight tracker. Track planes in real-time on our flight tracker map and get up-to-date flight status & airport information.

    http://www.flightradar24.com/reg/4r-alj
    I think 4R-ALB undergoing cabin refurbishment while 4R-ALJ is in C-Check. I flew on 4R-ALJ couple of years back, it has a very nice cabins I don't think refurbishment is required for 4R-ALJ urgently. But SriLankan needs to refurbish the economy cabins for those A332s still have the old cabins.

    Please take a look at the Economy Cabin of 4R-ALD. Really Looks nice! Do you know which UL's A332's have the new economy cabins like below.

FlyDubai operating normal Daily x DXB-CMB-HRI-DXB, SriLankan is only operating HRI with 2 weekly CMB-HRI-PEK-CMB, 2 weekly CMB-HRI-PVG-CMB and 4 weekly CMB-MLE-HRI-CMB (UL using HRI as a transit airport for some of the Maldives pax who fly towards PEK and PVG). Mihin Lanka is only operating 1 weekly CMB-IXM-HRI-CMB.
          Today's MJ IXM-HRI-CMB was not operated via HRI. It was directly to CMB. Don't know whether it is because of late arrival (4 hrs delay) or decision to discontinue via HRI.

              The news article said that they will stop all flights on 9th Feb. Currently they are still operating from BIA - HRIA & back.

                No. Its not a connecting flight to ul114.

                Its schedule is CMB (12:30) - (13:25) IXM (14:25) - (15:35) HRI (16:20) - (17:10) CMB
                But yesterday, it departed 4 hrs late from CMB (16:35).

                        According to this he is an associate of Faizer Mustapha, the new Minister of Aviation.

                        Hemaka de Alwis with Faizer Mustapha Hemaka de Alwis of Fairway Holdings is tipped to be the new Srilankan Airlines Chairman.

                            According to Hemaka's linked-in profile he has been a property developer most of life and it appears that his aviation experience amounts to "seen one and been in one"!
                            This says Ajith Dias is the new UL Chairman:

                              According to airlineroute twitter feed, UL is changing a lot of things.

                              UL will be cancelling Moscow DME effective 06FEB (i.e - Zero'd out of the system)
                              UL plans to phase the A340 out by October 2015 (subject to change)
                              UL to operate A330-200 to LHR (no mix of aircraft) and FCO (moved out of A340-300)

                                It will be interesting to see the summer 2015 schedule. I think they should start Australia.
