Kolkata: SriLankan Airlines is set to be the largest foreign carrier in India with the launch of services to Ahmedabad, a senior official of the national carrier of Sri Lanka said unveiling plans for India in 2020.
While the airline is focusing on the challenges of increasing business from India's eastern city like Kolkata by wooing more leisure flyers, it is set to launch four flights a week from Ahmedabad this year.
"In North India we have three flights a day from Delhi. We plan to add Ahmedabad in 2020 with four flights a week," V Ravindran, Regional Manager, India and Bangladesh, SriLankan Airlines told IBNS.
Calicut in South India is another connection on the cards, he said.
According to Ravindran, the Kolkata market has grown by five percent overall in the last year as its catchment areas are different and challenging.
"The main flyers are labour traffic and leisure. There are challenges but it has potential too and leisure traffic is only rising," he said.
