SriLankan Airlines is to expand its global route network, with new services to Karachi, Bahrain, Doha and Muscat, and Kochi.Much of the increase in capacity is in the Middle East, with the present flights to Bahrain, Doha and Muscat now going direct from Colombo. SriLankan will also add a fifth weekly flight Karachi and recommence services to Kochi from 27 March. Kochi will become the seventh Indian destination on the SriLankan network. SriLankan earlier served Kochi from 2003, but temporarily suspended the service in 2009 during the global economic crisis.The Airline is in the midst of a period of sustained long-term growth and has a global route network serving 51 cities in 32 nations. It is expected to acquire seven more aircraft in 2011 in addition to the three it took delivery of in the second half of 2010.
SriLankan’s Head of Worldwide Sales Mohamed Fazeel said; “Global travellers have once again discovered Sri Lanka, and SriLankan Airlines is expanding services around the world as rapidly as possible to spur on this boom. We are also acquiring more aircraft while upgrading our product and services to give passengers the most delightful experience on board.”
