The Sri Lankan government has requested Alliance Air, which recently upgraded the frequency of flight services on the Chennai-Jaffna-Chennai sector from four days a week to every day, to extend the services to Ratmalana near Colombo.
The spokesperson of Alliance Air, a wholly owned subsidiary of AI Assets Holding Limited (an undertaking of the Government of India), said a feasibility study was to be carried out on the extension.
In December last year, the company resumed operations to Jaffna with a carrying capacity of 72 passengers per flight. The one-way fare, inclusive of all taxes, is around ₹8,500 at present. “However, we follow dynamic pricing, which depends on demand and seasonality,” the spokesperson said.
