    Mihin to begin Manila flight

    Mihin Lanka will launch direct flights to Manila from next January. The frequency will be three times a week.

    An official from Mihin Lanka said they will start marketing this new route from the end of this month to stakeholders.

    The budget airline is hoping to acquire an A330 aircraft to launch this operation. “We are looking at leasing an aircraft from SriLankan,” he said.

    Sri Lankans still subject to stringent visa rules, and are classified with Nigeria, Pakistan and Yemen, to quote a few ..

    wonder where they will get the load factors .. unless they still dream of "ONWARDS" travel to ME/Europe, where there are better deals from Middle-Eastern carriers ..

            UL seems to have got two crucial things right:

            1. I read them saying that they want to operate daily flights to all their destinations, as opposed to half hearted 2-3 times a week flight. This will not only provide more flexibility to passengers, it establishes their presence in a stronger way and helps them utilize their station staff better.

            2. They have said that they want to fly point to point, as opposed to having stopovers mid-way. This is already shown by operating direct flights to Shanghai (dumping the stopover in Bangkok) and Kuwait (dumping the stopover in Dubai).

            Hopefully, they will improve on their on-time departures and join Star Alliance thereby establishing themselves on a stronger footing.

              Based on the above pics, no. A tad disappointing! But they have refreshed the look of the cabin in economy (seat covers, carpet etc).

              Yeh they seem to be cementing their position ATM with additional frequencies. Good news for all!

                UL facebook page has some pictures of Y class. It looks like they recycled the old stamp size AVOD in Y class.
                Doesn't look new to me.

                  Yep thats what I said! They didnt change the AVOD, but they did change the seat covers and flooring (in economy). Business Class looks great though.

                          Hopefully the surprises are good! I think UL is on the right path now. Mihin on the other hand needs to expand or else merge with UL.
