:pushpin: Why should this livery be added?
This livery should be included in the game, as Air Lanka had previously operated 2 Boeing 747-200s in their fleet, with the aircraft first entering Air Lankaโ€™s service in 1984 after they were leased from Qantas for European and Southeast Asian routes. In 1987, Air Lanka retired their B747-200s from their fleet, as the Qantas lease ended and the aircraft was deemed commercial unviability.

Just saw a post on the history of these liveries, it was shocking to see they changed these good ones to a boring current livery
