Yes now let get back to original question of operating 777-200 to RML. Only operator who operates 777-200 to Colombo is BA. (I think BA operates -ER). So let say BA operates 777-200 to Colombo and return destination is LGW. which bit longer than a Japanese domestic route. So can RML handle 777-200 in case of CMB runway maintenance answer is NO. Because there no operators who operates 777-200 to Colombo on a short distance.

Guys, but in a positive note, if you calculate daily take off landing in CMB, more than 60% are narrow body aircraft, which can easily accommodate on RML.

A321 Mihin, AirIndia, Qatar

How ever despite above capability on runaway, i am really doubtful that RML has capacity on passenger handling and related infrastructure.Comment

That is true; GOSL should have developed RML as primary LCC airport and reduce the pressure in CMBGuys, but in a positive note, if you calculate daily take off landing in CMB, more than 60% are narrow body aircraft, which can easily accommodate on RML.

Wow this is great to see. Now we've officially had a A380 and a Dreamliner at CMB. But I am curious about the flight information. I cannot find anything about it on Flighttrack. Does the flight go non-stop from Warsaw-Chopin to CMB? I know Warsaw has two airports, but Chopin is the primary one that LOT uses on their international routes. Either way, this is awesome
