    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?

            According to news, UL is planning to expand into India after full fleet in operation. I wonder which new indian destination?

            UL is planning to add additional flights to London with midnight departure from CMB from late Oct23.

                SpiceJet to resume Madurai-Colombo service from Aug-2023
                SpiceJet, via its official online booking system, confirmed (Jul-2023) plans to resume six times weekly Madurai-Colombo Bandaranaike service from 20-Aug-2023. SriLankan Airlines also operates the route, according to OAG.​
                Is Spicejet flying flights from Madurai to Colombo from today? Any flight status update?

                      New direct flight from Armenia to Sri Lanka

                      For the first time there will be direct flights from Armenia to Sri Lanka. The organizer of the flights is the Armenian Sky&More company. Colombo-Yerevan-Colombo flights will be operated from October 20 once every 9 days.

                      Previously, it was possible to reach Sri Lanka exclusively by transit, within 14 hours. Direct regular flights will allow to reach Colombo in 7 hours and 50 minutes. direct flight times are adjusted to make the tour package more competitive, taking into account hotel check-in and check-out times. The presentation organized by Sky&More was personally attended by FITS AIR General Director Ammar Kasim, Aitken Spence Travel Executive Director Nalin Jayasundera.

                      The main focus of the Sky&More company is the implementation of new charter flights. It is important to organize author group tours, which will be different from the tourist options of the market.

                      Colombo to Yerevan- 10:00 - 16:20 - 8D246 - 7:50hrs
                      Yerevan to Colombo - 05:30 - 15:00 - 8D245 - 8hrs

                      https://hy.armradio.am/2023/08/21/%D...%D5%A1%D5%B6%D 5%AB%D6%81-%D5%B7%D6%80%D5%AB-%D5%AC%D5%A1%D5%B6%D5%AF%D5%A1/

                      ​
                      Colombo-Yerevan-Colombo flights will be operated from October 20. I wonder which aircraft is going to fly this 7hrs 50mts flight?

                              Fitsair 4R-EXQ did the test flight today. Is it in Fitsair livery ? When it's going to operate revenue flights for Fitsair?
