So the lid has finally come off Pandora's Box!

There's plenty more Theft/Fraud/Corruption/Racketeering/Criminal Negligence/Abuse of Power/Treason to be discovered.

That includes the involvement of Corrupt Politicians. I doubt the investigation will be allowed to go that far.

What's still missing is any actual Accountability - not enough people named. CEO has a name - so does HHR and CCO. These people are Human Garbage - you can quote me on that.

Only a surprise to the very naive.

This what happens when unqualified Political Appointees take over in a culture of Impunity and Zero Accountability.

To the best of my knowledge not a single individual has been charged in this mess despite numerous investigations.

May be the delivery of 4R-ANF to SriLankan is next month. I am wondering why 4R-ABL is not flying for few weeks. Is 4R-ANF going to replace 4R-ABL in the SriLankan Fleet ? In the below picture you can see 4R-ABL is parked inside the hangar.

pic source : s. silva.

4R-ABL has resumed the revenue flights from 25-Jul. SriLankan is operating ABL, MRD, MRE without IFE. Any updates on fitting IFE on these aircraft ?

I know Sri Lankans are very naive but this is bad even by Sri Lankan standards....

With this kind of bizarre thinking it's hardly surprising things are the way they are.

Hi XFW Spotter, According to Flightradar24, 4R-ANF has departed XFW today afternoon for the ferry flight to SriLankan Airlines. Normally Airbus does around 4 test flights prior delivery to the customer. But this time only two test flights. Any reason?

addition to the fleet??

**ejanson65** · 29-07-2018, 09:04 PM

Unfortunately yet another aircraft that is:-

- Surplus to requirements
- Leased at above market rates like the rest of the fleet
- No termination clause so they can't cancel it.
- More losses for SriLankan.

Still 4 A350 on order - I notice the new "Big Talk" Board has gone very quiet.....

Notsure if 4R-ANF is replacing the aircraft which is already in the fleet. Any idea anyone ?

4R-ANF was landed at CMB today morning at 05:41am. Its leased from Aercap.

Any idea what would happen if UL can't cancel the A350 order ?

It's a shame SL Gov is planning to additional white elephant project (e.g. 3rd international airport) instead of sorting the existing problems like HRI & 4 x A350 order.
