SriLankan, in a time span of four months, has increased three new frequencies on the Chennai – Colombo route. Chennai is one of the fastest growing markets for the carrier and enhancement of its flights is a method of capitalising the increase in passenger traffic from this region.
The addition of this flight brings the total frequency of flights between Sri Lanka and India to 89 flights per week. This announcement reinforces the significance of the Indian market for SriLankan Airlines, especially Chennai.
“Last year we had over 225,000 arrivals on SriLankan Airlines from Chennai to Colombo. It is certain that Chennai is our fastest growing market in Southern India. We see the market as a growing and crucial business hub for Multinationals. The addition in flights is a result of growing passenger traffic from this region,” Lalith De Silva, Regional Manager for India, SriLankan, said.
He further added, “The increased frequency also reinforces our commitment to Chennai and will strengthen the deep commercial and bilateral ties between India & Sri Lanka. With this infusion of additional frequencies, we will appeal to both business and leisure customers aiming to provide convenience and better connectivity.”
