            Today's UL 549 operating as CMB - DOH - ZRH. New routing? Could not recall seeing this route before.

                    Any idea why UL is operating ZRH flights via DOH ? Do we have local traffic rights from DOH-ZRH ?

                            UL does not have traffic rights on DOH-ZRH sector, as far as I know. The reason why they are operating ZRH flights via a middle eastern city is pretty obvious. The load factor of this flights is not even 50%, and UL is squeezing in the passengers flying to DOH & ZRH into a single flight.

                                Not sure Banuthev. We thought SpiceJet will start the service but we don't know what is causing the delay.

                                We guess some approvals are waiting in the Srilankan DGCA desk for clearance (though Q400 aircraft shortage is also there).

                                    This has happened on other routes too, noticeably on LHR to CMB, when the flight has made a stop over in Doha and even Dubai too, probably due to low pax count on some original flights.

                                        If I paid for the luxury of a direct flight and it turned out to be anything but, I would be very pissed off (sans medicalemergencies etc).

                                            The most fascinating fact for us is, the BOAC's second destination for initial "jet" flights with Comet was Colombo after JNB. SIN,Tokyo started after CMB.

                                                hey we have never seen more than 18 passengers on MU from colombo or from kunming

                                                        Yep mainly because of the heavy rain and lack of fuel... Not only MU. Ek652 also on air without permited to land over colombo nearly 1hour.. It was a awsome rain.. Lol
