Fly we can - but no more at night

The shock to the travellers to and from Sri Lanka, has changed and taken a turn of astonishment. The Sri Lankan airport authorities have informed that from the 9th May until further notice the BIA (Bandaranaike International Airport) shall remain closed from 2200 hrs till 0400 hrs daily. This shall see to it that all carriers have to alter their schedules to fit with the BIA regulations.

Now, the good news is that Emirates who had pulled out fully is flying in again during day times. However the flight fares shall see a rise of upto 40% owing to security measures and higher flying costs at day. Following the emirates decision even SQ is looking for a similar option.

BIA had come out of a worser situation when a dozen crafts were bombed within the Sri Lankan airport. This gives faith that the BIA shall come out of this situation again.

We shall revive......!
K!
