              That's Emirates A380 again. EK412 bound to Sydney have done the emergency landing at Colombo. What's wrong with the aircraft A6-EEG?

                      So what exactly is going on with SriLankan's flights to Melbourne? I've heard some people say that it is going to be called off, and something about SriLankan saying now isn't the right time to start the route. But according to both BIA and Melbourne Tullamarine's Wikipedia pages, the route is still due to start on November 2 of this year. Does anyone have any confirmation as to whether this route is still going, or whether it has been called off?

                          For a moment I thought EK was uplifting less fuel from DBX

                          I will post some pictures of Lufthansa/Macro Asia-MNL, and the amount of work they are doing, including an A 380 (can't see who's it is), a LH 340-600, A VS 330, and more and more, all being flown all the way across the world.

                            Both your sources are not what I consider reliable information.

                            Look at the losses, the projected future losses, the integration of Mihin Lanka (more losses ), the complete lack of accountability and I think you have your answer....

                            The current situation is not sustainable.

                            The rumours I am hearing:-

                            - A350 will be cancelled as there is no money to pay for them.
                            - All European routes cancelled (except London because they have to operate this route).

                            Nothing further officially until after the election.
                            Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

                              Well i hope the rumors about the A350 are not true but i guess the no money part is true, at least if they can get 1 or 2 planes would be great. Don't know about the other European routes but LHR seems to be doing pretty well

                                Doubt its worth cancelling the A350s as the likely penalties to be paid to Airbus for cancellation will be more than the cost savings from cancelling the aircraft. Its all good to wan't to save money but it has to be done logically.
