    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.

    I highly doubt that flights have been cancelled, perhaps they are not loaded?

    • If UL have decided to stop flying to HRI Sri Lankan press would have already had a field day.

                            The management should look to reduce costs not to increase them!!!
                            Horrible decision taken

                                That surprises me. Even with the security concerns and all, the CMB-MAA route is one of the busiest routes that both airports have. According to Wikipedia, in a given year, it is the most traveled route to any destination from Chennai. Sri Lankan has multiple flights a day, and Jet Airways flight is in the middle of the night. Maybe people just didn't fly it because of the less frequency and the odd hours?
