The reality is they are out of money and the GOSL has no money to put into the Airline.

It's all in the last Annual Report - UL was supposed to get $125 Million from the GOSL. They didn't get this money.

Also in the Annual report - future liabilities associated with the order of new aircraft.

I'm not sure how they are continuing to fund operations.

Not sure where the money is going to come from to pay for the costs associated with the re-fleeting.

The UL's ability to find funds needs to be seen, If they are planning on putting it under a Holdings cooperation like Temasek then they need to make it profit.

4R-ALP is just like her sister 4R-ALO, It isn't picking up by FR24 ADS-B receivers it appears only on where MLAT coverage areas are.

so now we wont be able to see two aircrafts of SriLankan Airlines on Sri Lankan airspace. It will become three with 4R-ALQ in the future.

I also noticed this when 4R-ALP being ferried today morning around 01:52am because she disappered in FR24 as soon as she exit the Indian airspace. May be 4R-ALQ & 4R-ALR also be appearing under only MLAT coverage.

Hi Rahal, Where is 4R-ALP right now parked in CMB? Does it have the same interiors like our other A333s? Any idea when she will be put into revenue service ? If I'm not mistaken she will go through delivery checks for next few days.

Hello

It was in the farest corner of the Charlie bay (C25) this morning and then taken to the hangar. EY seats are slighly different from the previous ones and apart from that no change of interior.
Im not sure about her first flight and yes, we are currently doing the ipad modification so it will be grounded for like 3-4 days...

Air Serbia gets ‘fifth freedom’ rights from Sri Lanka’s Mattala

Sri Lanka has approved a Bilateral Air Service Agreement with Serbia under which Air Serbia gets fifth freedom rights to carry traffic between foreign countries if it uses a new airport in the island’s south that has failed to draw airlines.

Government spokesman Health Minister Rajitha Senaratne said the Bilateral Air Service Agreement between Sri Lanka and Serbia would help develop air services and tourism in Sri Lanka.

“Especially the Mattala International Airport can be used by allowing Serbian aircraft to fly to other countries,” he told a news conference

Fifth freedom traffic rights refers to the right for an airline to take passengers from its home country, deposit them at another country and then pick up and carry passengers on to other international destinations.

Wow! Good news! I do wonder which aircraft they will use for this operation.

If it's been materialised it would be Belgrade-Abu Dhabi-Mattala-?????, onboard A319. Perhaps with 5th freedom rights it would fly from Mattala to other Asian destinations. E.g. MLE, BKK...

Do you think this route will work?
