The airline operates its A 320 and A 330 airbus fleet on this sector
and caters to a mix of passengers from, leisure travellers to business
travellers and students from Colombo, to through traffic (connecting
passengers) from the Far East and Europe.
SriLankan Airline’s Chief Marketing Officer, G T Jeyaseelan said: “We
are developing Colombo into a hub for the South Asian Region and it is
vitally important that we provide the best service for our connecting
passengers to south India and other parts of India. While we are
planning to expand our operations into India with more destinations, we
are also consolidating our presence in the sub-continent, with enhanced
frequencies.”
The four daily frequencies to Chennai is the airline’s highest
frequency to any destination, except Male, to which the airline operates
an average of six frequencies a day. Some of these flights are direct
operations from Europe and Tokyo and connect to Colombo via Male.
In addition to strengthening the airline’s presence in Chennai,
SriLankan Airlines is also increasing its services to Karachi, to a
daily frequency from December 23. SriLankan also has plans to operate
direct flights to Kathmandu and Dhaka next year.
