    I have noticed that Srilankan airlines flights are not punctual during last few weeks. Most of them are running late. Flights to Rome , London, Shanghai, Beijing were late between 3 to 8 hours. Is it due to non availability of enough air crafts or in efficient management? Specially Rome flight is always late causing transit passengers missing connecting flights. This is not good for the reputation of airline.

      I guess we are much richer, and it is below our status to have a chartered plane ..

        FCO is famous for it. For mishandling of baggages as well.

              I remember in the mid-90s I flew Air Lanka a few times and the average delay was about 3 hours. Feels like SriLankan is going down that road.

                          4R-ADF is in service but I think 4R-ADE in an AOG. I can't find any recent movements of 4R-ADE on flightradar24. So someone please confirm what's going on with this aircraft? [ http://www.flightradar24.com/data/airplanes/4r-ade ]

                              Do you all think it will take weeks to remove install a thrust reveser pivoting door??? This aircraft is sceduled to depart on the 2nd at 1815. Please stop putting up reports that will start rumors.

                                Thanks Hash for the information. As we said earlier, we are curious to confirm the status of 4R-ADE as we can't find any recent movements of this aircraft in flightradar24.

                                According to Flightradar 24

                                Latest flights by 4R-ADE
                                No flights were found.
