According to Airtoday and Kflyer's web, UL has confirmed that they will not fly their aircraft to YYZ, however the codeshare flight is to be operated to YYZ effective Winter 2011/2. Its likely UL to codeshare with AC on the LHR-YYZ route. I guess UL will start expanding flights to LHR anytime soon. Can anyone confirm when UL will increase flights to LHR ?SriLankan to Toronto, 4R-ADG and Other Updates

Above sources also say UL's A332s are going to be configured as J18/Y251. Refurbishment process will commence in August 2011.

LHR -YYC AC codeshare make sense. AC and UL already have some relationship. (you get best rates on AC - UL combination via FRA/LHR/CDG). YYZ has very high landing fee (if not the highest) and until UL can offer a better product they should not do North America. Instead, they should capture North American traffic from key gateways like LHR/FRA/ZRH/AMS/CDG/NRT/HKG/ICN. in some cases, UL's connections are either very bad or doesn't work at all with North Americans. UL used to have after midnight departures to Europe and morning arrivals where the corrections to North America works well. But lately, UL's late morning or mid day departures from CMB doesn't work with North American connections. With better utilization of narrow bodies to regional routes, Ul should optimize the far east and Europe routes to cater North American traffic.
My guess about that secret UL Europe destination is ZRH but AMS also a possibility.Comment

Good news about UL's expansion. A newspaper did leak the new destination out when covering the new A320. Hopefully UL will place a new widebody order soon.Last edited by lordvader; 06-06-2011, 10:58 AM.Comment

China Eastern (MU) increases Colombo flights from 3 to 5 weekly until 30th June-2011. Additional flights operate on days Wed and Sat with a flight number MU7527/8, Operate on : Kunming - Colombo - Male', using a B737 Series. It appears to be this additional flights are operating to CMB for aircraft utilisation as China Eastern faces a few frequency-reduction on BKK, HKG, KTM, VTE from KMG. It would be better if they continue this 5 weekly CMB flights even after 30th June ...Comment

Flights to/from Australia surely have to be next , the huge Sri Lankan population in Australia , strong AUD$ , geo/political location half way between Australia to Europe and a strong demand for Asia leisure travel to Sri Lanka & Maldives
Come on SriLankan Airlines - Go the AussiesComment

ZRH timetable posted in airline route, too bad - all North American connections are gone by the time UL bird arriving in ZRH (1925 hrs) . There must be some operational reason behind, but UL should plan for connecting passengers for all European and far eastern gateways. To cater North American traffic UL need to arrive in morning or mid day hours.Comment
