SriLankan's air taxis popular with corporate clients
SriLankan Airlines air taxi, is fast becoming a popular mode of
transport for corporate clients who want to take a quick ride out of the
city for a day of business or leisure.
Recently, Ceylinco Life's Platinum Category, a group of 20 premium
Club members and their families, were hosted to a day's outing in Kandy,
by the insurance company.
SriLankan Airlines, two Twin Otter air taxis, flew the group to
Victoria and Polgolla in Kandy in half an hour and flew them back also
in half an hour, after spending the day in Kandy, thus cutting down the
travel time between Colombo and Kandy.
Hosts Ceylinco Life, chartered the two aircraft, on several flights
between Colombo and Kandy, replacing a tedious journey by road to an
exciting half an hour ride over the Western slopes of the country into
the central hills of Kandy, with a breathtaking aerial view of Western
Sri Lanka.
Platinum Club members also experienced the smooth and refreshing take
off and landing in the Kelani river in Peliyagoda in Colombo and at
Victoria and Polgolla in Kandy. Besides its scheduled flights to Kandy,
Bentota, Koggala and Dickwella, the air taxi can be chartered for
leisure outings or for quick transfers to any of the air taxi's current
destinations.
The air taxi also offers scenic rides of half an hour from any of its
existing destinations.
The option of returning to Colombo the same day after concluding
business in another city, has proved to be a big attraction to corporate
customers in addition to the time saved on a quick half an hour to
forty-five minute flight a any of the air taxi's current destinations.
Corporates such as Moet Hennessy, MAS Holdings, Arc Worldwide
(integrate arm of Leo Burnett solutions), Mackwoods, Finlays, Orient
Lanka and Odel, have chartered air taxis for their travel within the
country.
