As per http://www.dailynews.lk/2012/05/31/fea02.asp - SriLankan plans to do away with the water-only float planes which it currently operates as air taxis and to replace them with fully amphibious aircraft. This will enable them to take off and land from both water bodies and from conventional runways.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 ..Comment

Lot of confusing news coming out on AirTaxi operation specifically with opening of the Dandugam Oya lading site. On paper, the contract between UL and KB ends in August and no renewal signed as of yet. KB will try to get business back with UL or any other operator in Sri Lanka.Comment
