Mihin to begin Manila flight

Mihin Lanka will launch direct flights to Manila from next January. The frequency will be three times a week.

An official from Mihin Lanka said they will start marketing this new route from the end of this month to stakeholders.

The budget airline is hoping to acquire an A330 aircraft to launch this operation. “We are looking at leasing an aircraft from SriLankan,” he said.

Does it mean that UL leased A330-200 4R-ALH for MJ ?

It looks like the News incorrectly states the aircraft type. I think Mihin Lanka is leasing 4R-ABK (A320) , which is already configured for All-Economy Class.

Sri Lankan rolled out its first A330 upgraded with flatbeds, a new inflight entertainment system and an interior décor scheme reflecting a Sri Lanka theme on Thursday.

Over the next six months the airline will upgrade most of its A330s and some A340s with flatbeds, head of commercial GT Jayaseelan said.

Two or three older A340s are likely to be replaced, perhaps with Boeing 777s.

"It was supposed to fly to Singapore, and the aircraft was ready. But a regulatory issue forced a last minute change of the plans and it operated the first flight to Maldives - and will fly out tonight to Tokyo!" Facebook Srilankan Airlines said.

Sri Lankan Airlines plans to cash in on tourism boom

Sri Lanka's national carrier SriLankan Airlines is expanding its domestic flights and plans to purchase a plane to meet rising demand, an official said here on Friday.

SriLankan Air Taxi service is now running a network connecting 17 local destinations to its network, SriLankan Airlines Product Development and Air Taxi Manager Sanjeeva Jayatileke told media.

"Currently operation is carried out by two De Havilland Twin Otter aircraft that the company acquired from Kenn Borek Air Limited Canada on a two year wet lease. We hope to purchase another Twin Otter aircraft by the end of next year and train local staff to take over all operations," Jayatileke said.

Thanks for the news. Any other pics of the new seat?

Air Seychelles will close flights from LHR from 8th Jan 2012. Any chance SriLankan will get the LHR slots ? Currently SriLankan flies only 12/13 flights per week to LHR.

Sri Lankans still subject to stringent visa rules, and are classified with Nigeria, Pakistan and Yemen, to quote a few ..

wonder where they will get the load factors .. unless they still dream of "ONWARDS" travel to ME/Europe, where there are better deals from Middle-Eastern carriers ..
