                  * 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.
                  Spicejet to discontinue MAA-CMB daily flights from 30 Mar 2024.

                          So China Eastern will be operating 12 weekly flights into CMB from China? (1 daily from PVG and 5 weekly from KMG?)

                                Thought 4R-ALA & B was on the end of flying cycles and to be scrapped. Very interesting these two birds have been re-registered. Are they going to fly again?

                                4R-ALA is now LY-BMO
