    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 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.

                I guess we are much richer, and it is below our status to have a chartered plane ..
                Of course We are the Wonder of Asia and Who are South Koreans ?????

                    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.

                            You are welcome. ADE is due to land at cmb on the 2nd at 0235. Um sure the flight radar might give you its latest movement from Jeddah to colombo.

                                Only anecdotal info but I flew EK650/651 DXB-CMB-DXB back in Jan, flight almost full both ways. EK650 was FJY 77W, EK651 was a JY 77W. Surprised to count 6 people in the F suites.

                                If anyone has some more up-to-date hard info please share.
