            Still no updates on leasing further A330. May be UL is waiting until privatised.

              Probably ANC is undergoing a heavy maintenance. Need the confirmation from a reliable source.

                Necessary agreements have been reached between Sri Lankan and Chinese authorities.

                Minister Fernando also confirmed that the frequency of flights will be increased in the coming months.


                Air China is going to increase Colombo flights from next month. Guess How many flights to be operated?

                        Beijing to Srilanka not much of business it’s only a capital city and more tourist oriented therefore, UL868 load factor is quit bad I think they will up to 40% on a 332

                                Might code share with Cinnamon Air (CMB- SIG - JAF - CMB)

                                Current operators to/ from JAF :
                                International: Alliance Air (ATR 72)
                                Domestic. :Cinnamon Air (C208B) and DP Aviation (C208B).​
                                SriLankan Airlines is planning to lease A319 to fly direct flights to Jaffna. Is this good move?
