With uncertainty prevailing over the proposed flight service from Madurai to Colombo by April 14, the dream of the flyers in the southern part of Tamil Nadu to fly tointernational destinations from the city is likely to get delayed further.
In February, officials of Sri Lankan Airlines and Mihin Lanka Airlines, who had come to Madurai had assured the travel community that efforts are on to commence flight services from Madurai to Colombo by April 14, on the occasion of Tamil New Year’s day. ....

^^ Generally don't they spill the beans (i.e the destinations to which they are going to expand their network) before getting delivery of the new air crafts?Comment

Its probably a replacement aircraft for an older A320 (correct me if Im wrong). Also dont expect any new destinations (i.e. Madurai) since UL is in financial difficulty. Although they could surprise us!Originally posted by SSCMK View PostComment

SriLankan cancels decision to cancel flights to 3 destinations
SriLankan Airlines yesterday reversed its earlier decision to cancel flights to certain European destinations and announced that services to Rome, Milan and Moscow will remain uninterrupted.
An official announcement from its Corporate Communications Division yesterday said flight frequencies to these three destinations will remain the same.
Earlier in the week, the airline officially announced what it called "capacity adjustments" to its European route network blaming it on the rise in fuel prices, operational costs and 'economic indicators' in the EU region.
No reasons were given for the change of this decision however in yesterday's announcement.
