                C-checks for all of them. I think they are taking a long time due to shortage of engineers as most of them are leaving/have left. ANF, I think has some corrosion on it due to long term storage, so that might take a while too before it gets back in service. That's what I heard, I can't really confirm or deny any..

                  Oman Air, the national carrier of the Middle Eastern country Oman, is to drop scheduled passenger services to several destinations amid a network restructuring plan. The move comes following the carrier’s announcement in August 2023 that it needed to undertake various changes to stem continuing losses and reduce debts.

                  Under the changes being made, the company will be dropping services to Islamabad (ISB) and Lahore (LRE) in Pakistan, as well as to the Sri Lankan capital of Colombo (CMB).​

                            UAE sees expansion of flights to Colombo in Summer 2024

                            * FlyDubai increases CMB from 3 Daily to 4 Daily
                            * Etihad increases CMB from 10 weekly to 13 weekly from May 2024 and 19 weekly in June 2024
                            * Cathay Pacific passenger flight is due to arrive at CMB today after 4 years of absence. Any update?

                            It seems Indigo is going to terminate HYD-CMB flights from Summer 2024.
