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?

Air Serbia launched a new charter brand called Aviolet, The charter carrier operates a fleet of three Boeing B737-300 aircrafts configured in 144-seat all-economy layout.

It maybe for charter operations..........

I remember AirArabia was made a big proposal to make a hub in Mattala to reach Far East Destinations. Sadly Gov declined to approve the request from AirArabia.

Anyway, Cinnamon Air to begin Daily flights between Colombo and Mattala onboard Cessna effec May 2016. FlyDubai likely to cancel Mattala end of this Dec but RotanaJet may continue flying three weekly - AUH-CMB-HRI route.
