It appears to be 4R-ADE is not in service for last 28 days as per Flightradar24 is showing last movement of 4R-ADE was on 30-May-2013. I don't see any good reason why UL is giving upgrade to A340 for the one going leave the fleet before Dec 2015. I think all of the UL's A332s have been upgraded with new-biz except on 4R-ALD. It would be better if UL upgrade the twin engine 4R-ALD instead of upgrade the A340s.

Anybody anybody know if there is any passenger demand for SriLankan Airlines to operate Colombo to Dar Es Salaam revenue route. I think there are so many Indians population live in Tanzania. Probably SriLankan Airlines can fly Colombo to Johannesburg via Dar Es Salaam. What do you think?http://www.dailymirror.lk/caption-st...-tanzania.html
So this is the reason why 4R-ADF was upgraded with the new biz seats, its MR's personal plane.Comment

I am not aware RJ going to terminate the CMB operations but Amadeus shows RJ increasing CMB flights from three to four weekly from 2 November 2013. New flight schedule going to be like below :
AMM - CMB - 13:30 - 00:15 - RJ194 - A321 - TU FR + 1 CMB ARR - ONESTOP
AMM - CMB - 21:25 - 08:10 - RJ194 - A321 - WE SU + 1 CMB ARR - ONESTOP
CMB - AMM - 03:05 - 09:30 - RJ195 - A321 - WE SA - ONESTOP
CMB - AMM - 11:00 - 17:40 - RJ195 - A321 - MO TH - ONESTOP
Does anybody know where RJ will take the technical stop on this AMM - CMB - AMM ?Comment

What makes you say that? Pretty sure someone stated before that the route was low yielding. Merely filling up a plane with people doesn't equate to a high profit. Correct me if im wrong.Comment

i agree.................UL will probably start off to Melbourne (MEL) with an A320 with a stop at Darwin (DRW) or Townsville(TSV)Comment

why on earth would UL fly to MEL using an A320 and that too with stopover in Darwin. MEL is home to large srilankan expatriate community. as per the 2007 census if i'm not wrong there were 400,000 srilankans in melbourne alone. Australia is a great market for UL.Comment

Source: indiatodaySri Lankan Airline flight has narrow escape as two tyres burst on landing at Delhi's IGi airport:
Passengers onboard a Sri Lankan Airline plane had a miraculous escape today when two tyres of the aircraft burst after landing at the IGI airport here. The incident took place at around 6.55 PM when Sri Lankan Airline flight (UL 195), with over 70 passengers and crew onboard from Colombo, landed after second attempt, airport sources said. The pilots had aborted their first attempt of landing due to turbulence caused by the crosswinds at the airport and the air traffic control tower asked them to take a go-around for the second attempt, they said. As soon as the flight landed and was on taxiway, the pilots messaged the ATC tower about some technical problem saying the brakes of the aircraft had failed. A team of Delhi International Airport Limited officials were sent to tow the aircraft to the terminal building, but after reaching there they found that two rear tyres of the Boeing 737 plane had burst, the sources said. As towing the aircraft in that state was not possible, the passengers, who all were safe, and baggage were offloaded at the taxiway itself and taken in buses to the terminal building, they said. With the aircraft stuck on the taxiway, the flight movement at the airport was affected and the taxiway was closed for operations and aircraft had to take detour to reach the terminal. The airline was getting a new set of wheels and tyres and then the aircraft would be towed to the terminal, sources said.Comment
