      Wow ! Nice latest pic ! Thanks a lot for sharing with us !

      I think UL did paint the 4R-MRF in all white since its leaving Sri Lanka in next two months. Any idea when does 4R-MRD and 4R-MRE are going to be painted in UL colors ?

        The government is flexing its muscles and plans to suspend certain officials at SriLankan Airlines based on the Weliamuna Report which accused top officials and


        The Weliamuna Report is just the tip of the iceberg.

        If the investigation proceeds it will turn up the names of the Politicians involved in this Racket. That's why nothing will happen - just more talk imho.
        Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

              Since 4R-MRD is not flying for past few days, MJ is operating A332 (4R-ALH) to DAC

                          It should have been disbanded years ago! Ever since its inception it has been a failure, However if it should remain as a LCC for Sri Lanka it should be managed by a Private company or another airline and not be a subsidiary of UL that's for sure.

                            It should have been a no frills LCC such as AirAsia, Ryanair, Easyjet. No point in having it as another full service carrier that competes with UL.

                              Swiss investigators are flying into Colombo next month to investigate the Airbus agreement with SriLankan Airlines as part of an international probe on allegedly corrupt deals by the France-based aircraft manufacturer.

                                SriLankan to go regional. One error in story; it was A330s that were leased to PIA.

                                Namini Wijedasa extensive interview with the debt ridden national carrier's CEO In a marked departure from the previous management’s business strategy


                                In a marked departure from the previous management’s business strategy for the national carrier, SriLankan Airlines will focus on becoming a regional carrier flying mostly narrow-bodied aircraft, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Suren Ratwatte said.

                                He also admitted that finding capital to run the airline was his biggest headache; that arrangements have been made for a voluntary retirement scheme (VRS) for staff; and that SriLankan’s credit rating (defined as an estimate of the ability of a person or organisation to fulfil their financial commitments, based on previous dealings) was “not very good”.

                                Mr. Ratwatte declined from the outset to discuss financial issues covered by non-disclosure agreements. Therefore, he would not–despite being pressed–reveal how much was paid to abrogate leases on three A350s ordered by the previous Government.
