UL cuts flights to Chennai by half

SriLankan Airlines has observed a drop in traffic between Chennai and Colombo due to recent developments in Tamil Nadu, hence it was decided to reduce its frequency of flights to Chennai from 28 to 14 per week, effective from Thursday, 21 March 2013.

The revised schedule involves two daily flights, departing Colombo in the morning and evening, to facilitate the passengers who board their flights to Middle East and far eastern destinations from Chennai.  Flights to other Indian destinations will be operated uninterrupted.

SriLankan Airlines is closely observing the situation and will take further action if necessary.
