    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.

      A320 AirArabia, Mihin, Srilankan, ThaiSmile, Qatar, Etihad, RoyalJordanian, Maldivian
      B737 FlyDubai, JetAirways, OmanAir, AirIndia Express, Malaysian Airlines, ChinaEastern
      A321 Mihin, AirIndia, Qatar
      Q400 Spice Jet


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

        That is true; GOSL should have developed RML as primary LCC airport and reduce the pressure in CMB

              A340 is able to depart CMB at MTOW - from both 04 and 22.
              Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

                First Boeing 787 Dreamliner arrives with tourists

                The first Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft arrives in Sri Lanka.

                The Airport and Aviation Services Company said that the aircraft manufactured in the United States landed at the Katunayake International Airport. 252 tourists arrived in the island from this special aircraft belonging to the Polish Airlines. Chairman of the Airport and Aviation Services Company Prasanna Wickremasuriya said that the arrival of such an aircraft in the island marks another milestone in the island’s aviation sector.

                      Absolutely.

                      Still there is nothing stopping them from doing it.

                          Why arent they using Aero bridges?? Not compatible with 787? or we are full in the terminal?

                            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
