Wow it's too early for delivery flight it just came from CHR after paint on 16 Feb and so far done only two acceptance flights was on the 21 & 25 Feb. Has it had it's new seats in the both business and economy class? Why did they cancel the delivery flight previously planned on 28 Feb? If it's going to be delivered today then what time 4R-ALN is going to depart from Toulouse Airport ? As always the delivery flight will be operating as UL1206 - FR24 Status Link.Comment

SriLankan said to the media they ordered six A333s but there are seven A333s have been allocated in the A330 production list. I suspect one of the seven A333 must have been ordered for presidential entourages by the previous gov. I believe now present gov has cancelled the order of the presidential aircraft and replace the order with aircraft tools. SriLankan took delivery of first A333 in Oct 2014 and second A333 in Dec 2014. So there are four more A333s to be delivered to SriLankan Airlines between March and December 2015.
ILFC and SriLankan Airlines have signed 12-Year lease agreement for three A350-941s which are MSN52, MSN55 and MSN63 are to be assembled in Toulouse and deliveries starting from 2016. Remaining four of the A350-941s are to be inducted to the airlines’ fleet by 2023.
SriLankan Airlines has finalised the lease agreement for four new A321NEOs to replace 4R-ABK, 4R-ABL, 4R,ABQ and 4R-ABR.
Mihin Lanka has't yet took delivery of A319 which is over 10 years old airframe. I heard delivery crew got the visa to go china for the collection of A319 but there are some delays due to chinese new year or something.Comment

Sajin Vass Gunawardena owns cargo plane
The Boeing 727 cargo airplane of Cosmos Lanka, owned by former supervisory MP Sajin Vaas Gunawardena, is without even a local registration certificate, reports say. Painted blue, white and red, the airplane has the wordings Cargo Lanka in it. It was brought to Sri Lanka in 2000 by a Tamil businessman by the name Medhan through unscrupulous means. Initially, it had been used as Aero Lanka for passenger transport between Ratmalana and Jaffna. After Medhan was accused in 2010 of having aided the LTTE, Sajin Vaas has taken the airplane under his charge. The airplane is presently being parked at the Katunayake airport, although parking fees are yet to be paid too.
