Looks like ETOPS on all of UL's NEO fleet is affected. The most recent flights for 4R-ANB, ANC and AND were taking similar route to ANE while 4R-ANA has not done a flight over the Bay of Bengal over the past couple of days.

QR is scheduled to receive their 1st A350-1000 sometime this month, any chances of seeing one of them in CMB sometime this year considering the fact that Airbus advertise it as the replacement for A346 and QR probably will start retiring their A346s with the arrival of the A35K? They have already upgraded the DOH-MLE sector to A359 from the previous A333 service.Comment

A friend flew on AI to MAA last evening on their Airbus A321.
Their overall service, quite particularly their food was outstanding even though they serve Veg. The crew was very good too and with the aircraft too being well maintained, which was pretty surprising in contrast to all the other reviews (mostly negative) about AI
Load factor was 100% on Y Class
Good to see AI doing well even on its other rotations from CMB to BOM and VNS.
Sadly 9W pulled out from the BLR-CMB sector due to IndiGo being way too much for them to handle
Has anyone here flown with Air India?- Aaqib Hussain

ok so, problems with CFM Leap engine??
PRATT & WHITNEY ENGINE ISSUES CONTINUE TO PLAGUE A320NEO CUSTOMERS
I wonder whether it is a common issue for both manufacturers?Comment

While both engine types are having teething problems, I don't think the issues themselves are common across the types based on the article below although and I believe PW has had the bigger chunk of problems compared to CFM LEAP.

So he's suspended but no date has been given when this takes effect. Sounds like a typical Sri Lankan situation where nobody wants to do anything.
If any jounalists are reading along - it would be nice to clarify if Suren got his Rs 10 Million bonus.
This is the third commission looking into various aspects of UL if my memory is correct.
What's needed are arrests/criminal charges/prison sentences for most of the previous management and some of the present ones. Looks like all talk and no action to me. These people are protected at the highest levels of Government - that much is quite obvious.
There's a news blackout about anything to do with the lease contracts and the financial liabilities at UL. No talk about the shut down allowed either. Suppressing the truth will just make things even worse imho.Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this businessComment

Sad to hear about the political situation of the Maldives. Is it going to affect SriLankan Airlines? or is it advantage for Sri Lanka Tourism ? Any possibilities the foreign airlines that serve MLE switch the flight operation to CMB to transport the holiday makers who like to visit beaches.Comment

I noticed something SriLankan Airlines Neo Aircraft A320orA321 neo it takes longer to fly to Hkg they use the land router when crossing Bay of Bengal, but the old A320 such as 4R-ABP flies through ocean directly which takes 5:15 mins where neo takes 5:55 or6hoursComment
