Sri Lanka Aviation

Wow its gonna be epic ..

Woohoo !! It's really good to see Mr. Peter Hill back in the SriLankan Airlines Team. I agree good time is ahead for our National Carrier!! Urgently Mihin Lanka should be merged with SriLankan Airlines. Existing Mihin Lanka routes should be served with a brand naming e.g. SriLankan Air Taxi Hopefully they will re-paint the Mihin Lanka's Airbuses in SriLankan livery soon.

Among a plethora of blunders the current administration gets one thing spot on!

Well done.

It was detailed by a user on this forum before. I only asked about it since 3K, QF and UL are now cooperating re codeshare flights.

And really good news regarding Peter Hill at UL! Although it looks like he will only be a consultant with the current CEO in place (unless the CEO gets replaced - If this happens hopefully Mr Hill gets some say in picking a new CEO).

Thanks for the CAPA article banuthev - some very interesting reading.

I've never seen U$100m in losses described as an "improvement" before! At least it was stated that these losses are still unsustainable.

U$ 1 Billion in losses and still no audit to find out where all the money went and still no accountability whatsoever.

Merging Mihin with UL is a huge mistake imho. It just adds Mihin's finacial liabilities to those of UL. Still very unclear what penalty will have to be paid for the non delivery of the 2 738's. Also unclear how many of Mihins routes are profitable (my guess - none of them!).

There is zero benefit to UL - this looks like more Politics to show "something is being done". It's the easy way out.

Where is the audit/investigation of Mihn and the people involved? What is needed is some accountability!

I see UL has officially denied the safety allegations previously published. This is one of the most clumsily written statements I have ever seen.

Peter Hill is a good man - I hope he has the mandate to make the tough decisions that are necessary.

The Donkeys that infest all levels of UL need to be removed - that includes the entire current management and most of the department heads. If this happens then things will improve. If not the downward spiral will continue.

Another interesting article - although I don't agree with a lot of his conclusions.

3Ks reservation system is fully integrated with the JQ system, so .. if you can book on 3K, it should allow you to book connecting flight, via 3K/JQ

When it was Orangestar, it was separated !

On the 04-02-2015, 4R-ABJ flew out of Colombo to Jakarta and came back to Colombo on 17-02-2015 for some reason ? http://www.flightradar24.com/data/ai...r-abj/#58be53a . I heard 4R-ABJ will do test flight on 19/2/2015 prior delivery to next customer. Are they still going lease 4R-ABJ (MSN2564) to Titan Airways as G-POWM? When it's a delivery?

Another news UL flew nonstop flight on HKG-CMB on 16/2/2015 onboard 4R-ALB, and flying nonstop flight on CAN-CMB on the 18-02-2015 for Chinese New Year.

Yeah it came back from CGK last evening.. I was on the MJ flight when it ferried to CMB.. it landed after we landed at CMB..

it was still scrapped.. full white.. Capt. Pujitha Jayakody's son flew the aircraft from CGK to CMB

Yeah as I heard from it went to CGK for painting. But it came back to CMB for some commercial reason.. I'm not sure though.. but as I far as I know it was in CGK for painting..

I think Mihin Lanka going to take delivery of A319 of ex-Air Macao / B-MAM / MSN1893 on the 23/02/2015. New Rego of this bird might be 4R-MRF. I am still awaiting for confirmation and more information.
