SriLankan Airlines will launch services to Coimbatore on October 29, 2007, making this South Indian city the airline's eleventh destination in India.
Coimbatore, sitting near the border of Tamil Nadu and Kerala, provides an ideal gateway for travelers from East Kerala to fly to the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the Far East. A major industrial city, Coimbatore is the second largest metropolis in Tamil Nadu.
Peter Hill, CEO of SriLankan, said: "SriLankan Airlines has positioned Colombo as the gateway to India, and we are continuously increasing our services there. This includes the addition of more and more cities across India to our route network, and we are proud to add Coimbatore to this list."
The airline will initially operate four flights a week on Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday using Airbus A320 aircraft. It already has services to three major cities in Kerala – Trivandrum, Kozhikode, and Kochi; and two in Tamil Nadu – Chennai (Madras) and Trichy.
