An Indian aircraft made an emergency landing at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) on the afternoon of October 28 due to a bomb threat, marking the third such incident in recent days.
This time, the threat was directed at Air India flight AI-281, which was scheduled to land at 4:05 pm but arrived slightly earlier – at 3:57 pm – as a precautionary measure. The aircraft, an Airbus A-320, was carrying 108 passengers and eight crew members. The bomb threat was reportedly received by Air India’s headquarters in New Delhi through an anonymous call, which was immediately communicated to the airline’s management in Katunayake, who then notified local airport authorities. This triggered the emergency landing protocol.

Seems like AK has reduced frequency from KUL-CMB flights, from seven to two weekly (AK45) and from seven to five weekly (AK47).. I think this is due to UL starting its 9 weekly service from KUL TO CMB? please correct me if im wrong..
Also, seems like CMB is picking up traffic at a great pace! sitting at almost 599 departures today.. I'm hopeful it will exceed 600 soon!
Seems like Chinese tourists are starting to prefer CMB over MLE as MU has reduced flights from PVG to MLE from 5 to 2 weekly and CMB is steady at around 7 weekly. I wonder why this is happening? but this is still good for the SL tourism industry.

According to this youtube video, which was published on the 2nd of November 2024, it seems like 4R-ALT will be getting delivered this month, possibly most likely after or before the election, UL will have a total of 25 aircraft by 2025, so this could mean that 4R-ALT, ALU, ALV will be getting delivered this year. Can someone confirm this?
Thank you...Sien (KR/SL/US)
