            I doubt any technical issue on 4R-ADA. Because most of the other flights to Riyadh also have been delayed yesterday and today, not sure why? Please check this link : http://www.riyadh-airport.com/arrivals.php . UL266 delayed until 17:10 today arrival at Colombo.

It maybe 12 hours, 24 hours 36 hours or 48 hours.. it varies.. but for the crew they will get a small rest period during flight since it's a long flight.. maybe 13 to 14 crew might be on this flight.. so at once about 5 crew members will rest for abt 3 hours.. then after their rest is over another 5 will go for rest..and when they land in CMB they will get a layover 😊

                    Delays may be due to a sandstorm...

                                This picture was taken when 4R-ADA in Doha during sand storms while was dirverted during flight CMB-RUH on the 2-3-2015. Thanks to Sakith & umedhah for sharing the pic. Finally 4R-ADA came back to Colombo from Doha/Riyadh as UL266D.



                                Is it confirmed 4R-ADA going to retire from April 2015 ? 4R-ADA replacement aircraft 4R-ALN will be flying the first revenue service to London (Heathrow) route on 5-Apr 2015.

                                        Although I love those A340's, a four engined aircraft has higher fuel costs.
                                        But, I would love to spot Srilankan 340-600's :-)

                                        Kind regards,
                                        Yves

                                            Has Sri Lanka found a oil reserve recently that would enable them to get fuel cheap? If not why would UL want TG A346.. which are being taken off fleet for obvious reasons i.e. high operational cost?

                                                Sri lankan flight to Beijing turns back

                                                A SriLankan airline flight to Beijing had to return to the Bandaranaike International Airport after developing a technical fault, a spokesman said. The flight which took off around 2.00 p.m. returned to the Airport two hours later. The spokesman said arrangements were being made to fly the passengers on another flight - See more at: http://www.dailymirror.lk/68389/sril....WY4z9Yct.dpuf

                                                    Ummm! There is something wrong in the news. Actually Shanghai bound SriLankan flight (UL866) was delayed today by three hours due to hydraulic leak in the aircraft. Any idea about the rego ? My guess is 4R-ALH?
