hi banuthev,
all aircrafts you mentioned are not scheduled to be returned at this time as far as i know( or we haven't been informed yet).
The only re deliveries we are focussing right now are MRC ABK & MRF.
Yes NEO training classes are being conducted at the STT.
CheersComment

Am i correct to guess , both the 4R-ANA and 4R-ANB (A320neos) are replacing 4R-MRC and 4R-MRF in the SriLankan Airlines fleet this year ? Its because SL gov actually ordered two A320neos to replace Mihin Lanka Fleet.
Eventually 4R-MRC and 4R-MRF were added to SriLankan fleet later on.Comment

Are the 4R-MRD and 4R-MRE on 6 years lease in Sri Lanka ? both of them were added to the fleet in 2012. So that means they are leaving the fleet in mid-2018 ?
Any idea when does UL planning to paint and refurbish the cabins of 4R-MRD and 4R-MRE as SriLankan Airlines ?
4R-ABQ and 4R-ABR were joined the fleet in 2014. In that case they are leaving Sri Lanka in 2020 ?Comment

SriLankan Airlines 2016/17; No Significant Saving In Procurement & Fees Paid To Service Providers?https://www.colombotelegraph.com/ind...strial-action/
Good luck getting rid of any of the Management - they are all protected at the highest level.

@ Cayman...I hope you noticed the difference between Crew Expenses and Employee Cost
I also did a quick calculation on the labor cost
i.e. Employ. Cost + Crew Expenses/(7000*12)
7000 # of Employ.
12 # of Month
it is averaging around SLR 265K per Employee per month...(There is no saving in labour cost there)
^^^this is one of the factors why the yield is low
I may be wrong this is significant cost...If the oil price goes up by $10 - 15...I wonder what would happen to the bottom line...Comment

Well, as i know when in a doul engine failure the aircraft begins to glide. A 747-200 can glide 150 km without engines. Then the RAT will be deployed automatically to supply electricity to essential instruments.
I think that they are not planning the flight keeping alternate airports in such a distance (2000km). Flight route planning has to be done keeping the relavant distance to alternate airports in case of emergency.Comment

ETOPS approval for A350XWB is 370min...i.e.diversion time of 5hrs and 10min on a single engine
@500knot distance is approx 2500nmComment
