Why ? What happened?

It took a flight path north of the original (over Bay of Bengal) and entered SL airspace from North as for FR24. It usually enters from the North-east or East.

Just a guess - but that looks like a Non ETOPS routing to remain within 60 minutes of a suitable airport.

Yes, I can notice that Kingdom Holding's B747-4J6 (HZ-WBT7) arrived at CMB from RUH to transport HRH Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. It seems Saudia Arabia seeking investment opportunities in Sri Lanka as per this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43JJ3sdUpFQ

Normally in SL it takes 1 to 2 weeks for preparing the new aircraft before the 1st revenue flight. Rumour has ANC will be entering the 1st revenue flight on 12th July onwards.

4R-ANC (msn 7663) has been leased from Aercap for 12 years period.

Just what they need - another 12 year lease at above market rates without a termination clause!

Total order is 6 A320 Neo and 4 A321 Neo leased from Aercap and Air Lease Corporation.

Looks like another corrupt deal needs to be investigated. This is a financial disaster!

More Fairy Tales. Does anybody think the GOSL has any credibility left?

There is no way to make this Airline profitable - doesn't matter what you you do or who you get to run it.

Bankruptcy is the only option remaining.
