Well that explains why I noted a Sri Lanka local page on the dropdown menu the other week.

Perhaps SriLankan can push for better code sharing with both QF and JQ?
Including transits to India?
It would improve the wandering

Well, that was gone with the Jetstar Asia shutdown.

But I just saw this doing the rounds. Not too much detail: https://www.ausnewslanka.au/post/jetstar-to-launch-melbourne-colombo-flights-from-august-2026

Wake me when they start the PER-CMB flights.
And code share the UL and 6E flights from CMB to India....
Might generate incentives for wandering

UL has pretty solid loads on its Australian flights and it appears significant cargo is shifted between the two countries. Fares are not often that cheap either, peak is really pricey even for peak standards.

Not sure what the long term game is with UL either. Seems to be a rolling bailout and unknown yet if they might consolidate some of the network in the future potentially pulling Aussie ops,.
