There are also plans to extend reach from within Sri Lanka. “Jaffna in the north is an underserved destination,” Hill said. “We're in the market for A319 at the moment and if we are able to get one, I can start services up to Jaffna and beyond into southern India,” he said.
We either have to get ourselves the new narrow-bodies or we have to look for a wide body. But I would say that's a couple of years down the line.”Comment
