Sri Lanka’s low cost carrier Mihin Lanka, which currently services five destinations, is planning to add three more destinations, following the lease of a new aircraft expected to come on-board in November 2010. According to a senior official of the firm, Mihin Lanka will commence flights to Male in the Maldives, Dhaka in Bangladesh and Jakarta in Indonesia, commencing from next month.
“We will be getting a new A320 aircraft next month in the form of a dry-lease with Airbus Financial Services. We plan to deploy this aircraft to carry passengers to the three new destinations,” Mihin Lanka director cum CEO Kapila Chandrasena told The Bottom Line.
He says the new aircraft, which could carry about 210 passengers, would fly three frequencies to Dhaka, three frequencies to Jakarta and four frequencies to Male in a week.
“This new addition to our fleet is a welcome move, since of late we have been experiencing heavy demand from customers to fly to more destinations,” Chandrasena said.
He said the carrier was making good progress by utilising its single aircraft in fleet at the optimum level.
