SriLankan Airlines has taken delivery of the first of nine Rolls-Royce Trent 772-powered Airbus A330-200s, as the airline moves towards becoming an all A330/A340 operator. The remaining aircraft are due between now and December next year, replacing the airline's four Lockheed L-1011 TriStars. SriLankan, which is part owned by Dubai's Emirates, will operate the 281-seaters on services from Colombo to Kuala Lumpur, Rome, Zurich, Stockholm, Munich, Beirut, Sydney and Asian destinations.
