Trincomalee, Lanka’s favourite tourist destination, can now be
reached in an hour from Colombo, with SriLankan Airline’s Air Taxi
service.
Trincomalee, in the North East coast of the country, is SriLankan Air
Taxi’s 14th destination and the airline plans to add more destinations
such as Batticaloa, Anuradhapura, Passikudah, Jaffna and Kalpitiya, to
its route network next year, opening up the entire North and East coast
of the country, for quick transfers to tourists.
SriLankan Air Taxi, currently operates to popular tourist
destinations, Bentota, Koggala, Dikwella, Dambulla, Kandy, (Polgolla and
Victoria) Nuwara Eliya, Hambantota, Tissamaharama, Castlereagh, Arugam
Bay, Ampara and Iranamadu either on scheduled flights or charters.
With its natural, deep water harbour, rated as one of the finest of
its kind in the world, its turquoise ocean and pristine beaches,
Trincomalee is also a popular whale watching and fishing zone and is a
popular, attractive destination for both foreign visitors to the country
and domestic tourists.
The biggest drawback to Trincoimalee’s growing popularity as a key
tourist destination, was its distance from Colombo. Travel from Colombo
by road to the east coast destination is about eight hours, but now the
Air Taxi’s scheduled flights have cut down travel time to one hour.
SriLankan Airlines Chief Marketing Officer G T Jeyaseelan said. |
