      The delivery of the brand new Airbus were expected to begin by the end of the year on lease purchase

        Sri Lanka - India Bilateral Air Services Consultations Soon

        The Indian civil aviation ministry plans to negotiate for additional seat entitlement with the governments of
        Singapore & Sri Lanka, enabling Indian carriers to add more flights to these countries, civil aviation minister Ajit Singh said on Tuesday.

        He added that the seat entitlements available with Indian carriers for Singapore and Sri Lanka are almost exhausted and the government plans to enter into fresh negotiations to seek additional seats. “We will not negotiate with countries until our carriers exhaust their entitlements,” he stated.

        Governments negotiate seat entitlements determining the capacity (number of seats/frequency/destinations) available to airlines of both countries.

              Same year delivery. Not correct.

              Aviation sources said the government was likely to go for Boeing’s proven mid-range workhorse 777.
              Mihin going longhaul??

                        Mattala to see numerous international services upon opening:

                        Sri Lanka's Minister of Aviation Priyankara Jayaratne said flydubai and Air Arabia will operate to [new international airport]Mattala with a stop over in Colombo.

                        “In addition Sichuan Airlines of China, Qatar Airways, Etihad and Emirates too would operate flights to Mattala,” he said while also noting he had requested Korean Air to operate to the airport in the future. He also disclosed most services operated by SriLankan Airlines to Riyadh, Shanghai, Beijing and Male would make a stop over in Mattala.
