Seat & Cabin Upgradation applied onto all Wide-body aircraft except ADA, ADB, ADC & ALG. So far Upgradation completed for three A332s (incl ALA, ALB & ALC) and one A343 (ADF). ALJ, ADE & ALD will soon be upgraded. Not sure about ALH.
SriLankan Airlines will replace ADA, ADB & ADC by 2014. About replacing ADE, ADF & ADG not yet confirmed since their leases are not going to complete for next four years.
I think SriLankan should place an order for A333s to replace ageing three A343s.Comment

Sri Lankan airlines to Lucknow?
Tour operators insist that the two airports could become a gateway or exit point to Buddhist circuit, in what could attract operators from South East and South Asia. There have been indications from operators showing interest in operating flights from Lucknow to Bangkok and Colombo. However, that is still in the initial stages.

In my opinion , Mihin Lanka must now focus only on Tier-II destinations in South Asia and leave the rest of the destinations (incl Far East and Gulf) to SriLankan Airlines.Code:Mihin Lanka Network May - July 2012 Dhaka - Six weekly Dubai - Three weekly Jakarta - Four weekly Sharjah - Four weekly Trichy - Four weekly

Thanks for the update Banu. Hopefully they will install the new economy class on all widebody aircraft (including ALA-ALC which AFAIK only had their Business Class upgraded). The IFE and seats in economy class had been a big source of complaints for UL on Skytrax.
Yep agreed with you there. IMHO UL should take over MJ's Kuwait, Dubai, Dhaka, Manila and Jakarta service. MJ should maybe fly to Chittagong, Yangon, Kathmandu, Tier 2 Indian and Pakistani destinations and possibly some cities in CIS countries. The service to Sharjah should be kept and maybe RAK and Beirut could be added by MJ?Comment

MJ already given up the Kuwait route which is now being operated as Daily nonstop by UL. Manila not yet started.
Currently UL focuses only on increasing the number of flights to existing destinations in Asia where UL can make profit. E.g. From July 2012, flights to China, Japan and Thailand to be increased and A343 service to European flights will be reduced inorder to increase more capacity on profit making Asian flights.
To cut down the double landing charges, handling costs and fuel costs, UL has delinked the DXB-KWI and KUL-SIN routes where UL now operating the daily terminator flights. UL is not interested in Toronto but there are possibilities to launch flights to Seoul in 2013.Comment
