Mihin Lanka will commence operations from today with its flight to Dubai.
Starting today Mihin Lanka will operate six days a week to Dubai (except on Saturday), with Colombo departure at 1800 hours. Mihin Lanka is also on target to commence scheduled operations to Indian cities within in January.
To assist Buddhist pilgrims, plans have been finalised to operate weekly flights to Buddhagaya, effective February.
Customers have the option of either contacting their own travel agent or the Mihin Lanka Call Centre for information on bookings and ticketing assistance.
Mihin Lanka operates two ticketing offices, at the BMICH and at the EML Building - W.A.D. Ramanayake Mawatha, Colombo 2.
Mihin Lanka was founded to provide `low cost` air transportation to the travelling public of Sri Lanka. This gave an opportunity for a wider segment of society to travel abroad by air, at affordable prices.
Mihin Lanka recently acquired their new Boeing 737-800 type aircraft (2008 vintage) of ultra modern technology, fitted with CFM56-7B26 engines, seating 186. To facilitate local exporters and manufacturers/traders, this aircraft would provide approximately three tons of cargo capacity.

I would still say this is a waste of money.. only wished that MR would have thought about this a bit more... and then take a decision.. well too late now.. lets hope they will manage to make a profit out of this rather than being a failure like before... again it was a total waste to start this off on the first place... there are a lot of developments needed in the country... |

It seems only a crash resulting in loss of innocent lives would permanently close this money gobbling useless venture.
MR is more interested in boosting his pesonal immage with an airline named after him rather than consider the colossal waste of the money, twice over, of the downtrodden members of the public of Sri lanka and the present economic downturn not only in Sri Lanka but the whole world.
MR is another example of absolute power absolutely corrupts.

Hindu tax payers must demand equal facility to visit Rishikesh

| This should not be a charity work. Mihin should show profits and continue its service. Budget does not mean charity... |

| I wish Mihin all the best in the name of People's money. And sincerely hope Authorities will have the wisdom to provide on line ticketing facilities to its customers and avoid unwanted waste of money such as decorating entire road from BIA to Katunayake Road with expensive cutouts at least now on. |

This is an absurd idea. I thought you were more sensible than that. Only commercially viable routes should be undertaken. |

Gaja can forward a request from VP to facilitate TAF flight for this task..
After LTTE runs out of Airstrips gaja can arrange a landing facility at her backyard for operating TAF flights.. |

Buddha is Hindu, so Hindus too can visit Buddha Gaya. wake up.
People please, it is best time to come out from the 'frog in the well' attitude and see the wider world with down to earth vision.
