    Fitsair hope to start operations to Dhaka and then more south India routes starting with Trichy in January.

    ​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.”
    Need a huge upgrade to the Jaffna airport if passenger jets are coming to there. at least a Code 4E runway. Probably Fits 8D will lease a A330 for Jeddah flights.

            President Ranil Wickremesinghe has announced in his budget speech that he has allocated Rs 2 billion to construct another international airport at Hingurakgoda (Minneriya).

            Really? ​

                            UL will not use ALK as their aircraft reg number, because of the ICAO code of UL is also ALK.

                                UL need at least 2 or 3 more Airbus 330 air crafts to have a smooth medium to long haul schedule. Without proposed additional flights To NRT and SYD still UL have to cancel or delay long haul flights to Europe and Australia on some days due to shortage of air crafts.
