Hi Banuthev, official announcements not let out from SG yet. Rumours/unofficial updates are that Shri.Ajit Singh (Hon. Minister of Civil Aviation of India) is visiting Madurai in coming June. I hope for an official announcement from SG at least after their aircraft delivery. But their service is going to be most likely the first International flight from IXM.
By the way, SG have got approval for 6 more sectors :

Mihin Lanka to begin flights to Myanmar?
Foreign airlines have planned to resume flights to Myanmar since a year ago in wake of changes in that country.
Relating to Sri Lanka's Mihin Lanka, it was reported last year that it would extend its wing to Myanmar, coordinating with a Myanmar travel company for launching the direct flight service between Yangon and Colombo.
The two sides were expected to sign an agreement during March 2011 for Mihin Lanka to make the move but fruitless.

Actually, TMA's planes are on some wet lease from Ken Borek - who is the largest operator of Twotters in the world
well, seriously, if there are enough STOL runways, I see no reason for seaplanes in Sri Lanka, other than for novelty factor.
Knowing the load factors (a friend flew to Weligama - he was the sole pax, on departure, 2 pax got out, and on arrival, he was met by 2 pax - makes sense to kill it off I guess
or put back the wheels and fly the Twotter in it's natural land based guise ..
- UL would continue to operate its air taxi flights despite the losses it is making since commencing this service.
- The airline observed that they would continue the service but there would be a different type of aircraft or operation and that they have no plans of terminating the service.
- G.T. Jayaseelan speaking with the Business Times said they were likely to change the method of operation from the current wet lease to a dry lease agreement.
- Currently, the airline is operating for a period of nearly two years and it was uncertain whether the national carrier would enter into a joint venture with a private operator as these are currently under discussion, Mr. Jayaseelan said..
