Mihin Lanka to expand route network

COLOMBO: Mihin Lanka, the fully Government owned budget airline, has carried over 17,000 passengers in the last two and a half months, a spokesman for the airline told the Daily News.

The airline, which operates two Airbus aircraft, offers flights to a number of regional destinations. Bangkok is the latest destination. More destinations are being added on an almost a weekly basis. “Current load factors are very good and bookings ahead are solid.”

The spokesman said Singapore’s airport authorities were willing to grant certain concessions to the airline, having noticed its potential for increasing tourist and business traffic between the two countries.

Several other countries and airport operators have invited Mihin to commence flights.

He said the start-up airline has proved a boon for pilgrims going to India and migrant workers as Mihin airfares were much more affordable. Moreover, they were granting passengers a much bigger passenger allowance.

Mihin Lanka follows strict safety and security regulations to ensure a smooth flight for their passengers, the spokesman said.
