It is worth for Srilankan Airlines to consider operating to India from Jaffna and Batticaloa Airports using smaller aircraft like Dash 8 Q series which can accomodate less than 100 seats. Also improving domestic air travel will ultimately strengthen tourism too.

Exactly

SriLankan better start more direct flights between Colombo and Jaffna.

Currently AI is planning daily flights between Chennai and Jaffna. Unfortunately SriLankan will loose passengers to Air India because passengers to Jaffna from cities would fly via Chennai instead of Colombo.
