Varanasi-Colombo flight of Mihin airlines to be stopped from tomorrow

Varanasi: The seasonal weekly airlines service between temple city Varanasi and Colombo of Sri Lanka will stop tomorrow. The service of Mihin airlines will resume in August. Representative of the Mihin airlines Abhay Sahay here said the last flight of this season will take off for Colombo from the Lal Bahadur Shastri airport situated at Babatpur, tomorrow. The airlines will again resume this seasonal weekly service from the first week of August till December.

Mr Sahay added that the service was started by Mihin airlines in 2015, keeping in mind the huge influx of pilgrims coming to visit Varanasai, Sarnath and other Buddhists spots. In the initial period, the airlines gave this service three time a week, which was later reduced to two days a week and finally, it came down just a flight in a week. There is a chance that the airlines may start a new service between Colombo and Kolkata very soon.
