Sri Lanka Aviation

Glad to see UL expanding with more flights ...

Ukrainian carrier to start flights to Sri Lanka next month

There are some unconfirmed reports say Korean Air conducting a feasibility study for Seoul - Colombo flights.

Korean Air is the largest airline of South Korea, with global headquarters located in Seoul, South Korea. Korean Air's international passenger division and related subsidiary cargo division together serve 130 cities in 45 countries, while its domestic division serves 20 destinations.

It is among the top 20 airlines in the world in terms of passengers carried and is also the top-ranked international cargo airline.

Incheon International Airport serves as Korean Air's international hub.

Former Sri Lankan CEO Peter Hill is retiring from Oman Air and he is returning to Sri Lanka

Will UL return to Amsterdam soon? I think AMS is one of the long lived destination yet to return after ZRH.

Ukraine International have stopped CMB and Meridianafly will also leave from 13 September reports airlineroute.net. hopefully this will be compensated by more airlines flying in.

As for Korean Air they served CMB in the past as well 70s or 80s maybe even Cargo flights in the 90s.

Kflyer - Thanks. I have corrected the original post. Do you think 17 aircraft could be able to manage all these flights ?

I'm not sure of the exact fleet count. But UL should have received two more A320s by this time. No idea if they will retire any. Yes, it's doable if you plan creatively.

I also wish they will consider AMS again.

It will be a touch schedule for All Aircrafts.And it will be very difficult to manage/maintan the punctulity of the Airline.

UL 531 /2 CMB - DXB - DME is missing in the long list above.... has that also being axed??

@SriLankan1 not hard to manage at all. @CalgaryLankan not axed.

Here's a few pics of the new cabin on the new A320s' delivered a month ago
