If UL take that A350, Will they begin a new long haul route to operate? Or will they operate it in current long haul routes which current A333 fleet is operating?Comment

More wishful thinking imho - the truth is that there is no more money. It's all been spent or stolen.
What do you think it will cost to train people? For one aircraft.
What do you think starting a new route costs?
There has been zero transparency on the entire $2.3Billion aircraft order. To the best of my knowledge there is no investigation just a lot of talk.
Still no annual report published - and no explanation. Something is obviously being hidden - journalists need to start investigating and asking questions.
Bankruptcy is the only way forward imho - time to drain the swamp!Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this businessComment

I don't think it would be profitable to have scheduled flights to MEL in the long term, the reason being only a small number of travelers from CMB.
They could possibly target a direct flight around 4 times a week on a seasonal basis similar to KLM serving CMB from AMS and utilize the A350 to LHR as well.
Maybe add another route or two preferably in Europe because that is where revenue will flow in from. In my opinion terminating CDG and FRA is one of the most stupidest decisions ever!- Aaqib Hussain

So guys, um what's happening to the second A350 MSN55? Is it a must for SriLankan to have to take this Airbus, or is AerCap only asking the Airline to take it? What's the latest? Have they fitted wingtips or engines?Comment

Hello! Thanks for the quick response and info! My bad, that was MSN60 which was without engines and winglets if I'm not wrong. Anyhoo, yes I don't know if UL takes the A350, what will they ever do. But as of earlier I saw some rumors stating that AerCap wants UL to take the A350 on long lease, so what does that mean? Does SriLankan have to take it or can they deny this?Comment
