Mihin flights to Dhaka daily

Mihin Lanka hopes to fly daily to Dhaka in the near future, increasing facilities to the travellers.

"We have received an encouraging response from the Bangladesh market which led us to increase our flights to four on October 30, 2011.

We added the fifth frequency very recently-on March 30," Chief Executive Officer of the airline Kapila Chandrasena told a press meeting in Dhaka on Thursday.

He said Mihin Lanka started its Bangladesh operations on December 11, 2010 with three flights, paving the way for direct air services after a long interval. Mihin Lanka, which started operations in April 2007, flies to Dubai, Bodh Gaya, Tiruchirapalli, Varanasi, Kuwait, Maldives, Jakarta, Sharjah, Bangkok, Trivandrum, Muscat, Abu Dhabi, Mumbai, Bangalore, New Delhi, Kochi, Chennai, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Some of the flights are on a code-share basis with SriLankan Airlines.
