          So that means direct flights going to commence between Addis Ababa and Colombo?

            Doesn't make sense, isn't it Banu ? . For codeshare, UL need to serve ADD in this case.

              SriLankan Airlines & Sri Lanka Air Force new partnership announced. The objective of this agreement is to strengthen the collaboration between the Sri Lanka Air Force and Sri Lankan Airlines, particularly in the fields of aviation training, education and other areas of mutual interest.

                  Nice to hear lnternational Airlines are keen to fly Colombo. Nepal Airlines also applied for permission to fly SYD. Will it work if Nepal Airlines fly KTM-CMB-SYD route?

                    I heard Redwings Airlines is going to fly from Yekaterinburg to Sri Lanka from Nov23 with twice a week flight. I wonder its going to fly CMB or HRI.

                      Thats exactly what i thought. But It seems UL is codesharing with ET from CMB to ADD route as below :

                      CMB-DXB - UL operating
                      DXB-ADD - ET operating

                      ET had plans to fly CMB. Notsure why its still not materialised. Do you think CMB is route is profitable for ET?

                          It seems UL to wetlease widebidies with crew due to crew shortages in UL. Any idea which aircraft would be suitable for this ? Since UL is going to fly these aircraft for long haul (Australia) , they need aircraft with descent legroom.

                            According to the RFPs, they ve mentioned their expected flights i guess, but they will not use those Wet lsd jets in their looong haul flights such as SYD MEL LHR NRT FRA CDG according to my opinion. they are now recruiting technicians, and SLAF technicians will join with them also. will see how its going on. flight crew wil be their with the planes from lessor
