    Is there any route planning for Melbourne - Colombo? Since Malaysian Airline cut off there Australian routes, I think we have a very good chance London-Colombo-Melbourne

      ET has more direct points in China

                The Weliamuna report reveals the disastrous state of the Airline.

                They are out of money and ideas. The current losses are unsustainable.

                Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

                            Smoke in the cockpit apparently.

                            They declared a "May Day" 40 mins outside CMB and came in for a safe landing.

                                A6-EDM is still parked in Colombo according to flight radar24.
                                RAT is clearly visible deployed here

                                ET was planning ADD-BOM-CMB few years ago. But I am sure ET is looking at major expansion with their B787 order. Do you think ET could successfully fly CMB route via Gulf or India ? May be ET can fly KUL or SIN with a stop over in CMB?
