Looked into it, as far as I am aware,
Jaffna Airways Limited acts solely as a flight booking service agent for licensed domestic airlines operating within Sri Lanka and as a booking intermediary for road transport (van hire) services.
AND
Jaffna Airways Limited does not own, operate, or control any aircraft or road vehicles. All flight and road transport operations are carried out entirely by their respective licensed service providers.
All flight operations are carried out by David Peiris Aviation (Pvt) Ltd.
(according to their TOS)
Unfortunately not a Domestic airline according to their TOS. seems like a booking agent, does anyone else have more info?

Just found they have a website, https://www.jaffnaairways.com/
Ticket offices in Colombo and Jaffna, as well as Ontario and London.
Wonder if this is the one that Peter Hill has been working on.
Update: seems that Jaffna Airways acts as a booking service and all flights are operated by DP Aviation.

Hi Banu! apologies, Meant to say 787-8 NOT 787-9! Jetstar has no plans currently to operate a 787-9 as far as I am aware! and they probably will be proceeding with the CMB launch in August as usual.
Thanks for the update ! Do you think Jetstar will go-ahead with CMB launch in Aug26 after the announcement from UL on increasing flights to 10 weekly?
Plane Spotters Net shows Jetstar doesn't have 787-9 in the current fleet. Are they expecting delivery of 787-9 to be used on CMB route?Leave a comment:
