Shirajiv Sirimane

Mihin Air, Sri Lanka’s low cost airline will be launching direct flights to Singapore from September 24 increasing their destinations to six. The frequency would be thrice a week.

The airline is already flying to Dubai, Male, Trivandrum, Trichy and Bangkok.

An official from the airline said they would be once again offering the lowest air fare, which would be around 35 per cent less than the usual fares. The aim of the Government to float the airline was mainly to cater to the migrant workers who are presently forced to spend heavily for their passage.

“The Government wants to offer them a better deal and save money for them.

“Singapore is offering a visa on arrival policy. It is expected that more Sri Lankans would travel to the country.

“In addition the enhanced cargo allowa- nce too would be another attraction for the airline, an official said.”
