I don’t think so, UL is short of aircrafts for its current service, adding JAF will just make it worse.
Might code share with Cinnamon Air (CMB- SIG - JAF - CMB)
Current operators to/ from JAF :
International: Alliance Air (ATR 72)
Domestic. :Cinnamon Air (C208B) and DP Aviation (C208B).

Originally posted by RUM2004 View PostUL had Ex-Mihin Lanka A319 for a while as far as I know, but it was phased out. At this point with their expansion plans they really need more A320/A330’s as they can lease. Otherwise, flight operation efficiency may decrease, with unforeseen Flight cancellation/delays
It should be utilized on CMB-JAF-MAA sectors
TRZ is also another option

SriLankan Airlines is planning to lease A319 to fly direct flights to Jaffna. Is this good move?SriLankan Airlines plans to launch domestic flights
For the first time in the aviation history of Srilankan Airlines, the carrier is planning to introduce scheduled domestic flights to Jaffna, SriLankan CEO Richard Nuttall said.
He said that the Colombo-Jaffna route looks a very profitable route as many people including Diaspora and tourists wish to visit Jaffna and air link is the quickest way to link the two cities. “There may also be connections to India and to Sri Lankan routes from the Indian market. We are awaiting clearance from the Palaly airport and are looking to lease an A319 aircraft which is small in size and can land at the Jaffna airport.”
(The A319 carries 124 to 156 passengers and has a maximum range of 3,700 nmi (6,900 km; 4,300 mi).
He said that he was surprised to note that there were ‘serious talks’ to permit an Indian carrier to fly to Jaffna also to operate flights to Ratmalana. “Such permission to operate to domestic destinations is never given anywhere in the world.”
SriLankan does not have permission to have an additional stop over destination when flying to Indian destinations. “Hence, how can the vice versa work out?”
