        All thanks to current UL management for serving nonstop flights to Beijing and Shanghai. Previously these flights were routed via Mattala and Bangkok. Hopefully UL would now up the frequency of Beijing to five weekl but currently four weekly.

                • SriLankan Airlines team visits Vizag

                  Representatives from SriLankan Airlines visited the Port City on Tuesday to study the potential demand for flights to Vizag from the Sri Lankan capital of Colombo.

                  Team members Mohan Meegolle, Ranga Gunasekara and Priya Epitawala interacted with Vizag MP K Hari Babu, Vizag Development Council (VDC) vice-chairman O Naresh Kumar and international tour operators in the city as part of the study.

                  During the interaction, Hari Babu told the airline's representatives that people of Vizag and surrounding districts have been spending huge amounts on foreign trips to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur and there is a lot of scope for tourist traffic to Sri Lanka as well if the carrier operates flights to and from Vizag thrice a week. The MP also assured full support to the team.

                  The SriLankan Airlines representatives said that they will visit the city again and interact with officials of various departments, including tourism, as well as hospitality players, among other sectors, to take a final decision. The team will interact with members of the Air Travellers' Association (India) and officials of Vizag International Airport on Wednesday.

                          Yes, Air China is still operating Colombo with direct flights from Chengdu. Four weekly onboard A330-200.

                          Any possibilities new Beijing-Colombo route will become successful for Air China ? i remember Hainan Airlines previously planned this route but it didn't go ahead with a plan.

                                Once again a culture of impunity and zero accountability.
