Do you think Israel have sufficient passenger demand for Sri Lanka flights? The news says Israir could deploy A320 for the Colombo route. But I'm wondering where the aircraft will do a technical stop between Telaviv and Colombo. As far as i know Israel aircraft not allowed in Gulf Islamic states and the Maldives.

I don' know much about tourism but they seem to be on the rise in fact its one of the fastest growing sources of tourists to SL
Although the highest number of tourist arrivals in September 2015 was recorded from India, China and Germany, the highest year-on-year growth rates were observed in arrivals from Israel (185.1 per cent), Kuwait (91.4 per cent) and UAE (73.3 per cent), among others. This reflects the existence of untapped potential in many countries which have not been traditional sources of tourist arrivals in the past.
But finding a place to stop would be a issueComment

UL's first A350 has received the test registration. It looks like assembly for this aircraft will be starting in next month. There are chances UL will take delivery of 3 x A350-941s on lease from ILFC and change the 4 x A350-941 direct orders with narrow body aircraft.

Not really a bad idea if UL can swing this. A359 will be ideal for the LHR rotation and the occasional NRT flight and three frames should suffice even if the LHR frequency is marginally increased.
It will also give them 20 or so more seats over the A333, so overall it is a good match.Comment

Today, 4R-ALQ (F-WWKV) and 4R-ALR (F-WWYF) are performing the acceptance flight in TLS. Does anybody have two of these A333s in one pic ? It's appear to be delivery of these A333 by end of this month. Hi umedhah, is it true you have visited TLS to spot these UL A333s?

UL will be receiving only three A350-941s on lease from Aercap (ilfc) in last quarter of 2016. Now Msn 52, Msn 55 and Msn 60 have been allocated for UL. These birds will be configured to carry 338 pax. We can expect UL will be flying these aircraft to London and Tokyo for the rotation purpose they will fly Doha.
First parts for first A350 for UL (Msn 52) will be arriving in TLS in early Jan 2016. But the delivery of the Msn 52 is not going to happen in Aug 2016 because Airbus has back log of orders to complete
Hi XFW-Spotter, do you have any update about SriLankan A350 Msn 52?Comment

Penalty - In Focus
Skymark Airlines vs Airbus
Airbus terminated the order for six A380s -- worth $2.5 billion at list prices -- in July. The aircraft maker said its decision to cancel the orders stemmed from “the airline’s expressed intentions for the aircraft.”
Skymark has said the 26.5 billion yen ($244 million) it paid to Airbus for the double-decker planes, more than the airline’s market value, may not be returned. The carrier could face demands for as much as 70 billion yen in penalties.

Different scenario as the A380s were already assembled (or almost assembled) when the order was cancelled. Furthermore Skymark cancelled the order. Whereas UL will probably replace the A350 order with smaller Airbus aircraft. UL may have to pay a penalty if it does this but it probably won't be as severe as the penalties imposed on Skymark. Look at the recent TAP order as an example.Comment
