    According to Israel Ambassador, direct flights are going to start between Colombo and Tel Aviv from September 29 2023. I wonder which airline is going to fly this route?
    I doubt UL have enough aircraft to serve TLV. Could this be served by EL AL B737?

        Probably yes, I head last month that they had expressed interest and a few days ago heard that they had sent an assessment team to look at BIA.

            I thought ALB & ALQ are going to be leaving the fleet?

              Is Arkia going to operate Colombo with seasonal flight or year round flight?

                  Sri Lanka's Civil Aviation Minister Nimal Siripala says the restructuring of SriLankan Airlines (UL, Colombo International) must be completed within six months, adding that job losses may occur if people resist the change. His comments come as the Sri Lankan government continues its languorous privatisation push of multiple state-owned enterprises.

                          ABL has a wing crack and is grounded in AUH. ABQ is in all white c/s and has got a lease extension to fly a bit more for UL as I understand due to a/c shortage.
