Sri Lanka to raise overflight fees

Sri Lanka, at the moment, has about 200 aircraft flying over the country without landing, Nimalsiri said.

Colombo's main airport has about 185 flight movements a day.

Wow ! Are 200 aircraft using Sri Lanka Airspace per day?
As far as i know below routes are being served over SL Airspace : -

- Gulf-Indonesia
- Gulf-Australia/New Zealand
- China-Maldives
- China-South Africa
- Singapore-South India
- Malaysia-South India

Can anyone add the routes being served over Sri Lanka Airspace without landing in SL ?

Exactly!

Another waste of money by an Airline that is losing Rs 1 Billion/month with projected losses for the financial year of Rs 15 Billion with further losses to come!

Whoever approved this needs to be fired ASAP - imho.

Of course it may be another corrupt deal of some kind - nothing surprises me about this Airline.

Thomas Cook (India) Ltd hosted an exclusive corporate event in collaboration with Sri Lanka Convention Bureau and SriLankan Airlines to harness the significant demand for MICE travel to Sri Lanka, across mid and large Indian corporates and SMEs.

Just saw Hanoi - Nairobi flight flying over SL; but these routes could be weather dependent - isn't it?

Also Singapore/Malaysia/Hong Kong/Thailand - Maldives routes are operating over SL on some days if not all.

Sri Lanka PM (RW) has requested Indonesia to operate Garuda on the CGK-CMB sector. Mihin Lanka is already operating Daily flights to CGK. Does CGK-CMB route have sufficient demand to operate both GA and MJ ?

It might be something related to MJ phase out and UL is not interested in taking over CMB-CGK route?

Japan’s largest air transport firm, All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd (ANA), is one of the companies interested in managing Sri Lankan Airlines.

For now UL received about eight offers...............

China & Sri Lanka sign MoU to expand ASA

China & Sri Lanka signed (03-Aug-2016) a MoU to expand their bilateral air services agreement. Under the agreement, both parties will work to raise the number of weekly services between the countries to 70. In addition, services between Kunming & Colombo will not be limited. CAAC reported that in 2015, there were 39 weekly services between China & Sri Lanka, which brought about 400,000 people traveling between the two countries, up 34% year-on-year.

4r-ALN just left CMB as UL 1183. Flight radar 24 doesnt show it's final destination. Anybody knows whether it's going to PIA?

UL uses 183 flight number only for Pakistan. So she must be going to join PIA on wet lease. My guess final destination is Lahore or Islamabad where these 3 x UL A333 are going to be based there. @haleef - please confirm if i'm right? It's a sad moment for all of us
