I'm thinking the paintwork was done by Vallair MRO.

      Thanks for the update!

      MSN 1261 had the seating config of J18/Y242, when the aircraft was with Fly Gangwon. is that true the cabin re-config was done at CHR for 4R-ALT to match config of current UL A332 fleet (J18/Y252) ?
      Any possibility 4R-ALT get its interiors refurbished in UL-standard at CMB-hangar after delivery, similar happened to second-hand A332s in the past (e.g. 4R-ALH, 4R-ALJ, 4R-ALS)?​

      "You're not going to be wanting to fly A330s when you get to the end of the 2030s," Nuttall said. "So what's the new aircraft? Is it the A330-900N? Is it the A350? Is it the B787? That's when you really start talking to Airbus and Boeing, and the opportunity then is there for Boeing to say, well you can transition the whole fleet with our really good deal."

      Gov't offers SriLankan $67.5mn, CEO mulls future fleet
      https://www.ch-aviation.com/news/150488-govt-offers-srilankan-675mn-ceo-mulls-future-fleet
      The Sri Lankan government has proposed handing LKR20 billion rupees (USD67.5 million) to SriLankan Airlines (UL, Colombo International) to repay loans and make...
      It seems UL is planning to retire all its A332s and A333s by year 2030. I guess 4R-ALT is being leased for 5/6 Years and will be phased out in 2030s. Please correct me if I am wrong. Will be a good start for UL's refleeting if UL successfully lease A339neos (MSN 1844 & 1861).

            Vietnam Airlines set to launch direct flights to Sri Lanka following bilateral agreement!

            Reliable sources confirmed that following President Anura Kumara Dissanayake’s recent visit to Vietnam, the two governments have reached an agreement to commence direct flights between Vietnam and Sri Lanka. Vietnam Airlines is expected to begin operations to Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA), strengthening air connectivity between the two countries.

            A delegation of Vietnamese officials is scheduled to visit Sri Lanka this week to initiate primary discussions and formalize the next steps. Further details, including the launch timeline, are yet to be finalized.​

                          yes, Info is correct, but I doubt about Bhutan airlines. because I don't think anybody will travel to Bhutan from Sri Lanka with a heavy visa fee ( USD 200 per day) yes the amount is correct while India, Nepal, Maldives, Bangladesh citizens doesn't need visa to travel to Bhutan.
