This HiFly Airbus A330-200 was planned to be delivered to SriLankan Airlines and to be registered as 4R-ALS. However this deal fell through and

the Airbus never made the delivery flight to Colombo. On this picture the Airbus is painted in full SriLankan colours but still with its Portuguese

registration. Early July the aircraft was already seen all white operating for Jet2 and on 17 July HiFly placed the aircraft with Garuda for a Hajj

lease. (Brussels, 16 June 2017, Eric Vangeel)
