SriLankan Airlines marks seven years of excellence connecting Madurai

Wednesday, November 29, 2023

SriLankan Airlines recently commemorated seven successful years of linking the city of Madurai in Tamil Nadu with Colombo and beyond. As the exclusive non-Indian carrier navigating the skies of Madurai, SriLankan Airlines has left an enduring mark on the international travel landscape, fostering connections between Madurai and Colombo, and more broadly, between Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka.

Dimuthu Tennakoon, Head of Worldwide Sales & Distribution at SriLankan Airlines, emphasized, “The seven-year milestone in Madurai signifies a pivotal moment for SriLankan Airlines, particularly as India solidifies its position as one of the world’s leading outbound travel markets. We take pride in the role SriLankan Airlines has played in facilitating seamless international travel for people from all corners of India.”

The airline has been instrumental in introducing a new level of convenience for foreign travel for the people of Madurai. Notably, SriLankan’s groundbreaking direct service, now operating flights every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday between the two cities, prompted Indian Immigration Authorities to implement the e-Visa facility at Madurai Airport.

SriLankan Airlines’ well-structured flight schedule to and from Madurai opens up a plethora of seamless connections via Colombo to key destinations across the Middle East, Europe, the Far East, and Australia within the airline’s network. These connections are tailored for the convenience of migrant workers, students, business travelers, and leisure tourists flying internationally from Madurai.

Through its tour operator arm, SriLankan Holidays, the airline provides a comprehensive range of travel services for visitors from Madurai bound for Sri Lanka, offering customized holiday packages featuring attractions like the Ramayana Trail and the country’s revered Hindu kovils and temples. As Sri Lanka prepares to implement visa-free entry for Indian visitors, the wonders of the island will become easily accessible for every discerning traveler from Madurai with just one SriLankan Airlines flight.

SriLankan Airlines also caters to the wanderlust of Sri Lankans eager to explore Madurai and its historical temples and shrines, including the sacred Meenakshi Amman Temple. The airline has been a key player in uniting Madurai and Sri Lanka, fostering connections between people, cultures, and opportunities.

In addition to Madurai, the airline operates flights to Chennai and Trichy in Tamil Nadu, with plans to expand its weekly operations between the Southern Indian state and Colombo. SriLankan Airlines also serves Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kochi, and Trivandrum in India, boasting nearly 100 flights every week from India and solidifying its status as one of the premier international flight operators in the country.
