Not sure of ban, but some facts are not accurate in this post. Some European carriers still operating A340's from 1993/94/95 deliveries.

April 10th EU Air-ban list does not have any UL metal listed.

Banu, so all CMB - LHR also rerouting via HRI? That is a surprising move!

UL is not operating LHR via HRI.

Looks like UL will be part of Oneworld next Thursday. Cant wait! Especially since a lot of aviation leaders will possibly be in CMB for it (if TAM's inauguration is anything to go by). Speaking of which it looks like the ex CEO is back at UL representing them at the TAM Oneworld inauguration (think thats him on the far right- correct me if wrong): https://www.flickr.com/photos/tamlin...s/13547525635/
Bit weird they didnt send the current Chairman/CEO.

Did any aircraft gone out of service to a paint-shop to have Oneworld livery or at least a big "Oneworld" sticker for the inauguration ceremony?

I think that one of the A340's would look nice wearing the OneWorld scheme. I am envisioning the same livery except where "Sri Lankan" is written now would say OneWorld, and then below that a smaller "Sri Lankan". Unlike Skyteam and Star Alliance which change up the airline liveries completely, the OneWorld scheme is much more neutral.

I think that doing that would be a terrible mistake. It is best to keep all popular routes through CMB, as taking people through HRI with no one getting off would be a waste of time, and inconvenient for passengers going to CMB. Just like how some flights to Male have to go to HRI first, basically going backwards.
