    Seems like HRI is doing pretty well compared to before.
    Hope GoSL looks to further develop HRI and probably come up with a concept similar to KLIA2 with reduced landing fees etc. to attract more airlines mainly LCC's that would definitely help to reduce congestion at CMB when things normalize
    With the Sothern Expressway being a key link to HRI, many pax would definitely use HRI as an option primarily for cheap fares

        Looks like it went under the carpet... It really difficult to start a new airline during unprecedented times.

          Heard that Cargolux is looking at the feasibility of commencing flights to Colombo. Anyone in Cargo & Freight forwarding can confirm on this?

                  Good to see International airlines flying again to Sri Lanka. it's interesting Gulf Air aircraft is going to be parked at CMB for 14 hours. But any reason why B787 not used on CMB route?

                    Is this latest update?

                    I searched on internet about Cargolux services to Sri Lanka and found Sri Lanka signed air services agreement with Luxembourg in 2018 for opening direct flights between these countries and in 2020 Sri Lanka requested Cargolux to serve HRI.

                          EK is already operating 6+ flights per week but only 3 are dedicated for pax, rest is freighter.

                            Jazeera Airways to fly Kuwait-Colombo service from 23-Feb-2021

                            Flight Timetable

                            Tu.Su - 18:45 - 02:35 - KWI-CMB - J9551 - A320
                            Mo.We - 03:35 - 07:05 - CMB-KWI - J9552 - A320
                            Good to see the beautiful Jazeera A320neo flying to Colombo !

                            Aaqib - will it affect the Kuwait Airways flights operating between KWI and CMB? I can see only once weekly KU flight to Colombo until 29-Mar-2021.

                              This is a really good move! I’m a huge supporter of the LCC concept and yes it would definitely affect pax volume to and form KWI mainly the yield on KU... the same example can been seen in the case of Oman Air as a result of Salam Air beginning operations

                              Flew WY recently and the MCT-CMB sector had around 30 pax in total... upon clarifying as to why this was as i too was pretty surprised why the load factor was so low, the answer was “because of Salam Air”

                              I still feel that Mihin Lanka should have been around

                              Similarly Wizz Air Abu Dhabi (if so they begin operations to AUH) would negatively affect Etihad

                              Emirates is alright on the DXB sector as Fly Dubai is their subsidiary

                                It will be really demanding if the Wizz Air Abu Dhabi decide to fly to Colombo as there is no any other low cost carrier to AUH from CMB.
