Sri Lanka Aviation

There are positive reviews for UL on SkyTrax, equally there are some negative reviews.

UL needs to take these opinions (and rankings into account). Then again when you have a morons like the Aviation chairman (Prasana something) in positions of importance, good luck. In a Lakbima article from last year where the reporter mentioned these rankings and the negative comments (mainly around CMB and the fact it has no ranking) his response was "these people who say bad things are enemies of the country" Hikz.

What an attitude.


Anyway this is the latest review from SkyTrax of UL:

<<"Both flights outbound and inbound (UAE to Colombo) did not offer any in-flight entertainment for 4.5 hours of flight time. In fact the outbound flight from Colombo did not have TV screens in Economy class at all, in business class (where I was sitting), I had screen but it was not working properly. Crew offered me a heavy Portable Media Player! It had maximum of 10 movies to select from, and was annoying to keep on my lap.
">>

I believe from the lack of inflight equipment he flew on 4R-ALH.

Why is the fleet so haphazard? ALH was a "new" acquisition as well.

As far as i know BIA's alpha side is wider than Bravo bay side. So in that case Bravo base cannot use for 773...

Does anyone know whether there is a web site where you can get information on passengers GSA. I know there is azfreight.com for cargo GSA details.

Banuthev, the 77E is a very worthy replacement for the 313X's also. A350 EIS is far away, but the 77E is available today to UL. A333 also a good option but 77E superior to that as well.
