Mihin Lanka, Sri Lanka's national low-cost carrier, will expand
operations this winter by introducing flights to Lahore, Pakistan and
increasing frequencies to the Seychelles.
Mihin Lanka already services several destinations in the Middle East,
the Indian subcontinent and Far East and will expand further to meet the
growing demand for flights due to an increase in tourism and trade.
Head of Commercial, Mihin Lanka, Rohana Perera said, "Lahore is
Pakistan's second largest city and contributes to 60 percent of
Pakistan's GDP. The new route will enhance regional connectivity and
strengthen economic and trade ties between Sri Lanka and Pakistan."
"The potential for export cargo is immense in Lahore as the city is a
thriving commercial hub and exports textiles, raw material, carpets,
sports goods, surgical equipment, fresh fruits and vegetables," he said.
At present no other airline directly services the Lahore route and
Mihin Lanka will launch flights in November with three flights per week.
