Following Delhi flight cancellation, Mihin will increase Dubai from 3 to 5 weekly (new flights on Mon & Wed). Perhaps they are planning to wet-lease their aircraft to UL on Saturdays for Muscat service. I think Mihin should have increased the Bahrain from 6 weely to Daily as they currently don't operate Bahrain on Saturdays. I hate when they mix MJ/UL aircraft for the flight service.Originally posted by dilushasg-bdavi View PostComment

Sorry but I can't see UL increasing frequency on India flights. I notice UL going to increase Jeddah flights from three to four weekly , effective 5 Jan 2014.Originally posted by Serendib View PostComment

Ironically,this amount is almost identical to the CHOGM bill (which was LKR 15.8 B), yet nobody is taking about the waste of UL and fixated on CHOGM.Originally posted by Serendib View Post
For what it's worth, a substantial chunk of CHOGM money went in to infrastructure development and beautification, which will benefit the entire population of Sri Lanka, not to mention the publicity the country received (OK, some negative, I agree)
Who is getting the benefit of the billions spent on UL?
Government has managed to turn around both CPC and CEB, despite these being essential entities for the running of the country hence must be run even at a loss. But why keep a deadbeat airline afloat, which brings no benefits to the country?Comment

President Mahinda Rajapaksa is continuing to pump public funds to keep the loss making budget airline, Mihin Lanka afloat.
In the 2014 Budget, the President has allocated millions to uplift the operations of Mihin Lanka and SriLankan Airlines.
However, Leader of the House, Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva had to defend the move in parliament on behalf of the government.
The Minister has said that the government has a responsibility to protect national entities.
In the 2014 budget allocations the government had announced that US$ 150 million will be allocated for SriLankan and US$ 50 million to Mihin Lanka.
Rejecting allegations that the two airlines are used by government members, de Silva has said that SriLankan Airlines and Mihin Lanka are used by a majority of Sri Lankans for their overseas travels.

UL web booking engine is one of the poorest that I have encountered. I have not used it to actually book flights, but my little interaction to check the prices have been a painful experience.Originally posted by Banuthev View Post
I highly doubt that flights have been cancelled, perhaps they are not loaded?Comment
