at Umedha, according to that link, intercity airways a/c is registered as 4R-AIA and shows a/c country of origin as Sri Lanka (the flag is shown), but the a/c is now used by someone else, and yes 4R is Sri Lanka country rego and no one else uses it.
becz may be i'm wrong, i faintly do recall a Gulf air a/c used by someone else or the other way around, the original country rego was worn by the new operator of another country.....again this actual scenario is very cloudy to me, but i do remember something like thisComment

@4R-ALA: yea sometimes it happens, it happens according to the lease agreement....dont u remember 3 yrs back UL operated a leased 767-300ER under a Portugeuse reg: CS-TQIComment

matter of fact, a few N registered planes were used by Philippine Airlines, for convenience sake, and when 9W leased their planes to TK, TK didn't bother to re-register ..
For countries with good safety record, the registration doesn't matter much. .. for those countries jittery of the operator/lessor, then the screws tighten up
Just like a lot of ships registered in Liberia, Malta, Sierra Leone .. etc.
Not illegal, but generally, Flag carriers want to make sure their planes are in their national registry ..
there are a 100 ways to avoid it though ..
PS: the previous UL Caravan for Amphib ops was TC-TUB !!!Comment
