                    Status of 4R-ANC, ANA, & ANF are still inactive. Totally now 6 aircraft are in maintenance or parked.

                    I believe suspension of PEK route due to shortage of aircraft. I can see PEK is in operation from Mar24.

                      Good news Etihad Airways is planning to increase more nonstop flights to Colombo using A320 from Mar24.

                      Any idea which aircraft Etihad is currently using for CMB these days?

                            Sri Lanka’s national carrier in urgent push for new pilots

                            By Feizal Samath
                            / Posted on 25 September, 2023 19:05

                            SriLankan Airlines is aiming to recruit 80 new pilots to replace lost headcount, with 30 hires set for this year and 50 more by mid-2025.
                            CEO Richard Nuttal said failure to fill the manpower gap would result in cancelled flights.

                            ​The state-owned flag carrier has lost about 50 to 60 pilots within the past 10 to 12 months.

                            Currently, there are 143 captains, including three females; 83 first officers; 26 junior first officers; and 14 cadet pilots undergoing training within the organisation.

                            Nuttal told the media that the airline has obtained government approval to recruit foreign pilots if required, and pointed to “a pool of skilled pilots available in South-east Asia and Northern Europe”.

                            When asked if hiring conditions have been improved for pilots, Nuttal told TTG Asia that terms have indeed been enhanced for both future hires and existing ones.

                            SriLankan Airlines is aiming to recruit 80 new pilots to replace lost headcount, with 30 hires set for this year and 50 more by mid-2025.

                              Hi Guys, , Today morning i surprisingly saw a SriLankan Airlines A333 parked at LHR for some reason. It seems UL504 from Heathrow to Colombo cancelled last night.

                              I am wondering what is the aircraft reg and reason for AOG.
