    May be EK is thinking to use A380 on one of the daily flight instead of operating 5 x Daily B777s.

    I guess good idea to fly Daily x DXB-CMB-SIN onboard A380. Rest of the 3 x Daily DXB-CMB onboard B777s.

    Does CMB have airbridge supporting A380 operation? I thought A380 cant enter in the apron where the airbridges are and That's why A380 have been using cargo apron when ever its does the emergency landing in CMB.
    It will be a good idea if A380 serves Colombo. But I doubt that it could pass Apron Delta, as the wingtip might collide with the terminal building. But Apron Alpha taxiways (on edges) have been widened enough for the A380 to proceed taxiing. But there can be an alternative that if the A380 cannot pass through Apron Delta and Charlie, it could maybe taxi on the runway, and then get off the runway near the RWY 22 intersecting point, just near the end, taxi back onto the taxiway, and then get onto the runway from the RWY 22 holding point maybe.

                        Already 4R-ABK left the UL fleet and joined Indigo Airlines fleet few months ago but 4R-ABL and 4R-ABN are not flying recently for unknown reason.

                          SriLankan A321neo fleet would have the seat config as 12J 176Y.

                            I thought there is no lease - returns from SriLankan fleet for next 6 months? Do you have any pictures of 4R-ANC from Colombo?

                                the last flight operated by 4R-ABL (UL 185) diverted back to CMB just after take-off.
