Mihin Lanka recommenced flight operations to Malé in the Maldives from yesterday. Mihin Lanka has added Malé to its route network, to help foster stronger trade and cultural ties between Sri Lanka and the Maldives and provide greater connectivity throughout the region. A total of three weekly flights will be introduced and will operate every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from Bandaranaike International Airport.

The Maldives is well known for its pristine beaches and its tourism industry has undergone immense development over the years, additionally the Maldives has become renowned for offering many diverse trade and business opportunities.

The reintroduction of flights will also make it easier for Maldivian travellers to visit Sri Lanka for business and leisure.

Commenting on the addition of Malé to Mihin Lanka’s route network, Mihin Lanka Head of Commercial Rohana Perera stated, “Mihin Lanka is very proud to recommence our operations to Malé and add yet another SAARC destination to our network. Sri Lanka is home to a growing community of Maldivians and many Sri Lankans also live and work in the Maldives.

Additionally, many expatriate workers from countries such as Bangladesh and India reside in the Maldives and also need access to affordable flights to and from Malé.
