UPFA Colombo district candidate Wimal Weerawansa today alleged that the government was planning to sell the national carrier SriLankan under its restructuring programme.

He told a media conference that separate companies are to be established for ground handling, training of cadet pilots, catering, management and maintenance of the airline.

“The proposed re-structuring will no doubt create the laying off of 6,800 employees directly and 30,000 indirectly. What is most damaging is their decision to sign code-share agreements with other international airlines on profitable air routes. The plan is to sell all these services to private companies,” he claimed. - See more at:

I think the airlines which are member of Oneworld normally paint the one narrow body and one wide body aircraft in oneworld livery but I agree with skybuck729 ! UL took delivery of couple of A321s after they join the oneworld alliance. That time they would've received one of those A321 with oneworld livery. I am quite sure they will be receiving brand new A330-300Es without oneworld livery and they will be re-painting one of the A333 aircraft in oneworld livery in the Colombo hangar. UL is loosing money because of the poor management decisions.

By the way, 4R-ABO has returned to revenue service with oneworld livery today and it flew on the CMB-KHI-CMB route. Any pictures of 4R-ABO with oneworld livery ?

MJ have particular rotation for each aircraft type but it subject to the availabilty of the aircraft. If you take MJ A321s are serving mainly Jakarta, Dhaka, Sharjah and Bahrain, MJ A320 is serving mainly Madurai, Gaya and Varanasi, MJ A319 is serving mainly Seychelles, Kolkota and Lahore.

Thanks AF777.

Hi Rahalroxz, Do you have any latest update about 4R-ADA & 4R-ADG ?

Hello
Both aircrafts are undergoing lease return tasks at the moment and ADA is almost done. 99% of ADA tasks are now completed and most probably it will leave our soil in the coming week.
ADG's having a hard time here. It was taken into final checks like 2 months ago but in the midway of the check it was decided to take it back to the service because there were concerns about our new 330s delivery getting late. However considering many factors again it was later decided to take it out from the fleet and continue the lease return. So its final checks had some bumpy periods but now running smoothly. But it will take months to conclude because we have to build it to the level of new aircraft..

Cheers

@RAHALROXZ Does it mean ADG is going to another airline? Not getting Scrapped?

No umedha it will be scrapped for sure ... But most of the parts will be taken out and used in other aircrafts. Only the structure will be fully scrapped.

SriLankan A333 4R-ALL performs the 25 minutes delayed UL 868 to Beijing, just after her arrival from LHR as UL 504 today. (15th Aug.)

Are they short of aircraft? I can see UL504 landed in CMB at 12:50 then UL868 departed at 14:04.
