Chongqing Airlines starts direct flights to Sri Lanka

That is FitsAir Cessna 208b EX. They are operating pax flights already. I always see it taking off over my house at Ratmalana.

Honda davasak!

Gents, above had left SZB (Kuala Lumpur) Subang yesterday on its way to Sri Lanka. Anyone more details? Still for Fits Air or is this company history? All the best for 2019! Kind regards Chris

Wow! But I didn't spot it at Ratmalana though, except for a Pvt jet parked outside.

Do you know the MSN of the aircraft ?

I can't see the movements of 4R-EXN on flightradar24 : https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/4r-exn

Vistara flight schedule was showing on Colombo Airport Website but it has been disappeared from the website today morning. This might be the planned schedule.

Schedule was like this
DEL-CMB - UK381 - A320 - CMB Arrival time : 10:50am

It seems 4R-EXO ferried from RML to CMB today.

This is definitely FitsAir's new Cessna which was delivered recently

4R-EXO was flying for FITS since sometime now (since the last month). Not ferry flights, but pax operating (or could be training). Already a/c was registered at RMA about a week after it was delivered.

Dec 29, Colombo: SriLankan Airlines Flight UL605 on route from Melbourne to Colombo on 28th December was diverted to Perth airport last night due to a mid-air medical emergency on-board.

A male passenger, who is understood to be in his 50s, developed a medical condition after take-off from Melbourne on the Colombo-bound flight and was taken to hospital in Perth.

The flight was diverted to Perth Airport and ambulance crews were on standby for the man�s arrival when the plane landed about 7.05 pm local time.

He was taken to Royal Perth Hospital on priority conditions and was in a critical condition last night. However, his condition has since improved and he is in a stable condition this afternoon, Western Australia reported.

A Perth Airport spokeswoman said the aircraft refueled and departed Perth at 8.48 pm local time.

The Airbus A330 landed in Colombo at 1.17am local time, two hours and 42 minutes later than scheduled.

The airline expressing regret for the inconvenience caused said the safety and comfort of the customers remains its first priority.
