JED-CMB

Departure information for JED
12:00

Arrival information for CMB
21:00

Does anyone know what time it will depart from CMB?

FR24, cirium and flightaware all shows that the aircraft used is a A300-600(pax)/AB6.
considering that SV retired its A300s circa 2012, it's not sure if another operator will operate on behalf of SV.
does anyone have further information?

edit: couldn't find the return flight nr.

Sad RUH not going to happen. Any next new destinations for 8D in coming months? and any new aircraft going to join 8D?

Thanks for the update on MLE ! I have updated the above table.

Operated by EC-ODR (A333) and return flight number was SV4622.

Any update on SV and RX commencing CMB schedule flights?

Yeah it was not shown on FR24, i tried to look up further details on google etc but nothing there either. hopefully itll be operated continuously and bring more economic value to the country.

Every Tuesday and Thursday of the week. Flight number O3289 (KMG-CMB) arrival to CMB at 11.04hrs and O3290 (CMB-KMG) departure at 12.47hrs (All times in Sri Lankan local time).

It might not operate on this coming Tuesday due to insufficient loads, but will operate on Thursday again as I heard.

Cathay Pacific is going to operate Daily flights on HKG-CMB-HKG effective 04-Sep-2025. Operated by A330-343 aircraft. Is CMB making profit for CX? Any update on introducing A350 aircraft on CMB route.

I think This flight came as a special flight to bring hajj people from mecca .

**VC10fan** · 02-07-2025, 10:30 AM

The "new" A330, 4R-ALT seems to be having serious reliability problems. From FlightRadar24:

01 Jul UL115 STD 1.30 ATD 2.51
01 Jul UL116 STD 3.35 ATD 4.37
01 Jul UL225 STD 6.25 ATD 1.17
01 Jul UL226 STD 11.00 ATD 5.08
02 Jul UL189 STD 09.25 ATD cancelled mid afternoon

The a/c returned to stand several times before departing on some of the above.

Seems to be back in action today, but wondered what the problem is? Is it same problem or various?
It's obviously not just the windshield wiper!

Hi All,

Is there any Update on Ex-Air Belgium A339 jets? What is the current condition of both jets, and any news regarding getting those two jets to UL?

From what I heard UL is going to dry-lease ex-Air Belgium A339neos (both MSN 1844 and 1861). These aircraft are currently parked in Tarbes without engines.
