4R-ALN is heading her new home.. She will be replacing our first A340 - 4R-ADA
It's sad to see our first A340 go from the UL fleet. Anyway looking forward to see the pictures of our brand new 4R-ALN from Colombo.

Thanks to Chamith for sharing the picture. I am surprised 4R-ALN still parked in CMB C25 bay. Perhaps currently no space in Engineering Hangar for aircraft check-ups for 4R-ALN before first revenue flight. I think Engineering Hangar currently filled with 4R-ADB, 4R-ADC and 4R-ALC. Also I can't see any movement of 4R-ADA since 25-3-2015 on FR24. 4R-ABJ ferried in Manchester for the new owner Titan Airways on the 22-3-2015.
All of these new A333s are replacing the A343s in the current fleet so the parking space is not the big issue now but issue comes when UL planning to increase the fleet-size from 2017.Comment

BA's LGW-MLE-CMB route was very poorly planned.Originally posted by banuthevBritish Airways ends Gatwick-Colombo flights from tomarrow. The last BA2043 flight will be operated onboard G-YMMR.

1. The MLE-CMB route has stiff competition.
2. LGW is not a lucrative connection port for passengers to and from Americas.
3. LGW is BA's Caribbean connection port. Traffic between Caribbean and CMB is very poor.
4. BA yes should and could launch CMB from Heathrow.Comment

Agreed - the wrong aircraft. It is designed for regional flights not long haul.
London is severely payload restricted - operated at maximum weight with minimum fuel (Re-dispatch). No room for cargo so they've lost that market as well.
The entire commercial side of UL needs to be investigated. I don't believe there is a business plan.Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this businessComment
