          Yes, engines are here. ANE will also fly soon. Test flight was scheduled today, but didn't happen I think. ANB and ANA will also come in a few weeks.

            Brand new engines or refurbished/repaired something?

                Nice to see the LCC carrier is entering the AUH-CMB route. When it's going to start? Air Arabia must be trying to exploit the AUH-CMB route when EY is flying CMB via MLE.

                Any reason why EY doesn't do nonstop flights to CMB anymore? But EY increasing CMB flights to Daily from Oct23​

                      Does Wizz air still have plans to fly HRI?

                      I can't see HRI listed on the Wizz air website : https://wizzair.com/en-gb/flights/timetable

                        Don't worry Emirates and Etihad will Beat it, yeah. Even Qatar Airways!! Remember, This is a cutthroat business!! Maybe SriLankan airlines will do it for $100 and that's cheap!! Mind you our national Airline bleeding in TRILLION RUPEES and counting, yeah.

                            DAC has a good demand for both Pax and Cargo

                            They must deploy their Q400’s to Bangalore, Hyderabad, Trichy, Coimbatore, Madurai etc.

                            Any idea when they would receive these aircraft?

                              I wonder why you're saying Eithad will beat AirArabia Abu Dhabi? AirArabia Abu Dhabi also managed by Etihad if i am not mistaken.

                                Could Fitsair be able to compete with SpiceJet (6x) and SriLankan (7x) on the CMB-IXM route?

                                Fitsair resumed MLE flight on the 03-Aug and planning to resume MAA on the 24-Aug. I believe 4R-EXQ is return to service on the 24-Aug and support resumption of flights to MAA.

                                Fitsair cancelled RML-BTC Daily flight since Cinnemon air started CMB-BTC Daily flight but i can see Fitsair's Cessna fliying RML-JAF.

                                Any update on hiring type rated captains for flying Q400?
