Mihin Lanka Revises its Network

Posted 10/01/2012

Sri Lankan carrier Mihin Lanka is to make some amendments to its schedule from February 1, 2012, boosting capacity to some markets, relaunching a couple of seasonal services into India and cancelling its daily link between Colombo and Male in the Maldives.  The low-cost venture, formed in April 2007, is controlled by the Sri Lankan Government and specialises in serving cities in the Indian subcontinent, the Gulf States and Southeast Asia using a fleet of Airbus A320 and A321 equipment.

The airline will offer twice weekly seasonal services from Colombo to Gaya, the second largest city in India’s state of Bihar, located around 100 kilometres south of the provincial capital Patna (until April 1, 2012) and a twice weekly connection to Varanasi, a city situated on the banks of the River Ganges in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh (until March 30, 2012). 

Elsewhere, its flights to the Indonesian capital Jakarta will be increased from three to four a week, links to Sharjah will grow from two to three a week, although flights on the combined Dubai and Kuwait route will reduce from five to four a week.
