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.Comment

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.Comment

btw this picture has been there for some time now and its one of the older a343 (4R-ADA/B/C) and so far very recent pics of them does not have this livery. i thnk this is edited.
again i maybe wrong. and they should paint either their brand new a320's or either of the retrofitted a332's or a343's rather than the 3 old ones.Comment

Yes - that one is a nicely done Photoshop job. As per this web-posting below, the ceremony will be at the HRI on April 30th.

@Srilankan1,
Your hatred towards a second airport in Sri Lanka is unfathomable, especially since you appear to he a fan of aviation.
I think we all agree that HRI has not become the successful venture the government hoped it to be, but we should at the same time appreciate the fact that Sri Lanka as a country, has a second international airport now, which is capable of handling any jet aircraft that is currently in commercial operation.
In retrospect, they could have chosen a different location for the airport, but where?
In my opinion, the only place that would have been successful is RML, due to its proximity to the capitol. But land acquisition around RML would not have been feasible.
I do not agree with you that we should ridicule the authorities for trying to make the best out of a bad situation. Any publicity for HRI is good, especially when it involves the senior executives from the commercial aviation industry.Comment

btw, its very difficult to make a new airport make money or be popularized.
In Dubai where the current airport is gonna go thru the runway expansion from May to July this yr, most airlines have shifted some of its operations to Sharjah which is another city and thus by ignoring DWC which is Dubai's new and 2nd airport.
so in a city where development is massive, and there is a world class leading airline like EK, the new airport in Dubai which is DWC has been very hard to market and still is.
so if its difficult in a rapidly growing city like dubai that too with EK, it will take way loads of time for sl too with hri. so lets see hw this ceremony might be of an advantage for hri too.Comment
