            Can see it has arrived at CMB now from BEY. Any reason for the visit?

                Really wondering why Sri Lanka is taking 346s, with their bespoke engines that have been a headache even for large Western operators, rather than 343s with CFM56 that will be maintainable until the end of time.
                As Far as I know BIA can't handle an A346 or an A345 due to it's poor engine performance, they usually need atleast 13,500ft of runway but considering these flights are ferry flights and no cargo onboard maybe they have a chanve with restricted range/fuel

                                EXQ, EXR and EXS occasionally go to HYD for maintenance. I thought thats the case for EXS went HYD yesterday. Has it been confirmed 4R-EXS on lease return today?

                                                    Yes, Qatar Airways operated A340-600 for regular Colombo flight operations in the past : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3QLTCOXBjg

                                                        I doubt its accurate as i never seen some flight like below showed in the FR24 CMB Arrivals or Departure

                                                        Air Astana - KC167/168 - A321neo - Almaty - Colombo - Mo,Tu,We,Sa (Currently operating)
