        Yes, scheduled operation every Fridays. I caught it the last week it came on its' first flight. They even got a water salute. Maybe this was what the Iranian president wanted? I thought it was Mahan Air, but seems like Iran Airtour is operating instead.

                Thanks, this is a year-round flight operating every Fridays. Remember Mahan Air used to connect 3 weekly Tehran-Colombo and Bandar Abbas-Colombo in the past using A300. So definitely there will be traffic in this route. Hopefully B9 will increase the frequency in coming months. Do you know how many passengers were in the inaugural flight?

                Very strange there is not much publicity for Tehran-Colombo launch and the website for this airline also doesn't seems to be working. Nice to know B9 will be parked in CMB for almost 12 hours in CMB before it heading back to Tehran at 21:30hrs. Good for the spotters to see this bird parked in the tarmac.

                I remember flying on A310 with KU back in 2010. If I am not mistaken no airline operated A310 to CMB after KU & RJ. Correct me If I am wrong.

                        Hope this is not another blunder.. no details who are these people... we knew FitsAir was part expo group and had some confidence to get going... Looks like so called Chairman had been founding multiple business but I'm not aware of any...
                        web sites does not have any details to support the fleet or destinations.. do they?

                            As far as I am aware, I believe they will start operations using a leased a330? please someone correct me if i am wrong. They will possibly be expanding first to the Middle East and Asia Pacific before expanding into Australia and maybe Europe, If it actually launches though.

                                Yes, chairman Mr. Shafik Kassim has multiple businesses, FitsExpress, FitsRetail, DFCR, FitsCargo, FTSaero, Hienergy, 319 logistics etc...
                                Still Fits Air is running because of the support of other sister companies..

                                    A330 plans are already closed, no more aircrafts for next few months, plans was to get A319 or an A321, but its not possible to get due to aircraft shortage.

                                    4R-EXR wet leased with G9 Air Arabia, lease period is ending on 26th September.

                                        If Air Ceilao have capacity to lease A330, why don't they joint venture with Fitsair to expand as one LCC airline from Sri Lanka? But Peter Hill has to remain as the CEO.

                                            Will never happen, I dont think that Air Ceilao has capacity to operate 330, still 8D doesnt have capacity to handle an A330.
                                            still pax ops at CMB is handled by UL for 8D...
                                            many approvals pending from CAA.

                                                    Yes as far as i know 4R-ALT is about arrive here within mid September. But a delay can be there. Lessor is Aergo Capital.

                                                            Next A330 registrations will be ALT, ALU & ALV. All are ex-Thai Airways retired A330-300s & 200s. Might fly to CMB in next couple of months.
