It seems MH is replacing MAA-CMB cargo-route which was previously operated by Etihad. Very sad Colombo does not receive many Frieghter flights, these days. Where all the freight airlines like LH, RJ, EK, SV, SQ, KE, CI, EY .. are gone ??? :-(

Oh, well, anyway, if the Prez is not starved for time, he can use Mihin, with a tech stops ..

a very nice surprise for everyone! Flight "ALK1305" departed from SriLanka and the final destination was Cuba, so they did a pit stop at Portugal!

Could be, but Colombo is a hub for Transiting, South TN has a big labor population in Middle east, Expats in Singapore, Skilled labors in Malaysia, and flyers to Maldives, Penang, etc. besides it is a big tourism hub.

You may see patronage reports from our side, and if you need to see the demand, you may read the Madurai airport facebook page and ppl requesting flights : Madurai airport facebook

Mihin Lanka has applied to DGCA to start a flights to Madurai. It does not looks like Mihin Lanka's Trichy flights will be affected for starting Madurai flights.

@ SSCMK - Is there any Sri Lankan community in Madurai ?
