    yes, it's still grounded. I saw some article mention that un-attempted RAT deployment and they also checked RAT in BIA. But I don't know exact connection between smoke and RAT, I think maybe crew shutdown electrical system after smoke detection that's why RAT was deployed
    Did Emirates operate any special EK flight to transport the stranded pax of EK413 from Colombo to Dubai?

      I dont know much about that. But according to Fr24 there were no any special flight. But scheduled flights got delayed maybe they took pax of ek413

        Found this in the bottom part of this article

        "Rajitha Senaratne, Cabinet spokesperson, said the Cabinet had also decided to expedite negotiations on free trade agreements with European Union, United States, India, China and Singapore. Besides, it granted the approval for a “comprehensive restructuring plan” of the Sri Lankan Airlines and the amalgamation of Mihin Lanka, he added"

              Sometimes they paint them before sometimes they paint afterwards when it comes to A330s. I've seen many painted wihtout engines. Those 330 painted in Chateroux are primer on the way out. But I think to some extent it is about optimizing the paint halls and engine fitting bays in TLS.

              All A380s however are painted in XFW, so that is why they are always primer in the initial flight photos.
              Most TLS built A320s are painted in TLS prior to flying up to XFW for cabin configuration, but some leave in primer mostly to Chateroux or Bordeaux for paint before continuing to XFW.

                  It looks like QR has cancelled the plan of operating B787 service to Colombo. I can't see QR B787 operating in July as already planned.

                        What happened to 4R-ADG. Don't see it flying. Is it being retired after 4R-ALO enters service?

                                How long this lease return check takes for A340? What do you normally check on aircraft before return back to the owner?
