He said that there is a tremendous demand for flights to the North
which is a hotspot for tourists. "We operate daily flights and provide a
hassle-free journey to the North," he said.
ExpoAir, the pioneering domestic aviation company in Sri Lanka since
1997, resumed regular flights from Colombo to Jaffna on January 28 this
year.
ExpoAir which offers a unique service based on value for money with
stringent service standards was the only domestic airline to continue
operations to Jaffna during the battle against terrorism, a spokesman
for ExpoAir said.
"We hope to attract more high-spending travellers with a plan to
boost domestic aviation. With the promise of 'Jaffna in just over one
hour', we underscore the need for affordable and fast travel between
Colombo and Jaffna," he said.
The new Cessna Grand Caravan 12-seater aircraft with leather seats,
individual reading lights, adjustable air-conditioning vents, equipped
with a drop down monitor which will be screening silent movies during
the flight, the journey promises to be comfortable.
"Since 1997, ExpoAir has established a strong standing among domestic
air passengers based on the commitment to provide a quality service
while adhering to rigid safety standards," the spokesman for ExpoAir
said.
He said, "ExpoAir manages two boutique concept properties in Jaffna,
where we have converted two charming colonial bungalows.
The rustic ambience of paintings, Jaffna antiques, vibrant colours of
drapery and soothing lights provide a relaxing atmosphere."
The Jaffna Fort, Alfred Duraiappah Stadium, the Jaffna Library, the
Ariyakulam Buddhist Temple, Nallur Temple, Jamunari Bottomless Well,
Casuarina Beach, Keerimalai Tank, Mavettapuram Kanthasami Kovil
(historical temple), Thellipalai Amman Kovil (historical temple) and the
NagadeepaTemple are some of the popular tourists destinations in Jaffna.
He said that the Company operates tours to Elephant Pass, Kilinochchi
and Eranaimadu tank. |
