Hopefully they?d be able to acquire a few turboprops and operate a similar model to like what FitsAir is doing
I?d say probably Bombardier Q300/Q400 or the ATR72

Fly Lanka Asia and now this... the question is if these would honestly materialize or would it be just another set of "planned airlines"

It seems to be Gov is planning to make Fly Lankan Asia to operate out of RML. What is this Spark Air? According to Facebook, Spark Air going to be based in HRI. Does SL need more new airlines? Why UL is not interested in getting ATR and operate out of RML to MAA, MLE in future.

Spark Air is a different company which will be based out of VCRI, and has nothing to do with Fly Lankan Asia.
