    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.

                      We see EC-NYJ (A333) on its way now to CMB as SV4111.

                      Any SV photos from CMB?

                            For spotters in France and Sri Lanka who wants to capture A330-243 4R-ALT departure and arrival.

                            Seems like 4R-ALT will be ferried from CHR to CDG beforehand?
                            Flight details as follows for delivery to CMB.

                            UL1202/ALK1202

                            ETD from CDG on 3rd June 2025 at 1900hrs (local time - Paris) / 1700 UTC.

                            ETA at CMB on 4th June 2025 at 0900hrs (local time - Colombo) / 0330 UTC.

                            The aircraft will do one slow pass along the coastal belt from the South of Ratmalana up to Colombo Port City at approximately 1,000/500 ft AGL before landing at CMB.

                                Hi All,

                                Got this message From UL, through Instagram as a direct message :


                                Dear Flight Spotters,

                                This is to keep you updated on the special low altitude flypast with our newly inducted Airbus A330-200 aircraft (Registration: 4R-ALT) scheduled for Wednesday, 04th June 2025, between 0800 Hrs and 0900 Hrs.

                                As part of this celebratory flight, the aircraft will conduct a low level flypast at approximately 500 ft along the Colombo shoreline, visible to the public from the southern end of Port City up to the Moratuwa area. After reaching the Moratuwa end, the aircraft will turn and follow the same route back towards Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB).

                                Before landing the Aircraft, the crew will perform an additional flypast over Katunayake Airport, entering the airfield from the lagoon side (RWY 04 end) and exiting over RWY 22 end.

                                Thank you,
                                Social Media and Digital Communications Team
                                SriLankan Airlines


                                UL marketing and Social media is so active than ever before, and I m impressed about their work to gain the publicity.
