      only possibility will be Hambanthota once it's built, as the kfirs and other jets require a long runway

                            Thanks for the pic. A bit surprised that UL opted for CFM engines on this one as well. Makes me wonder why they got MSN2345 when they couldve opted for an ex Wataniya CFM frame which is a lot newer.

                              @Gayan are they opting to keep the three class layout ? And is Druvi still flying ?

                                It might be costlier but Wataniya's aircrafts would have seatback IFE installed, whereas UL would have to refurbish their other A320s to provide for such features (being a 'premium airline'). As such wouldnt it be cheaper long term?

                                Also not sure why no one has picked up on this yet, but Aviointeriors has pretty much confirmed that UL will be installing their 'Biz' seat (on their website). The following link also has a new image of the seat and a link to your (KFlyer's) website.



                                Does anyone have any idea if B-HXL will get the new seating?
