SriLankan Airlines - flight schedule changes as it introduces new aircraft
SriLankan Airlines’ flight schedule is undergoing several temporary changes, as the airline introduces new aircraft and retires four older ones in its narrow-body fleet. Two new Airbus A320 aircraft have already been acquired, the first of which arrived on 30-Nov-08.

 

Two more are being actively sourced, and until they arrive the airline is temporarily suspending services to four destinations – Calicut, Cochin, Coimbatore and Hyderabad from 15- Jan-09 until the end of the winter season.

SriLankan will continue to serve all of the other destinations in its route network.

In India the airline continues to serve major destinations New Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore. It will also maintain a major presence in Tamil Nadu through its 15 flights a week to Chennai, and daily flights to Trichy.

The suspension of operations to these four Indian cities will not affect the country’s tourism, export industry or its travelling public. The airline will also continue to fly to the country’s major tourism generating markets in Europe.
