The initiative marks a significant achievement in regional aviation, catering to the increasing demand for economical travel options between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, as reported by The Daily FT — Sri Lanka’s business daily.
“The Bangladesh economy is one of the fastest-growing globally, and we’re thrilled to provide competitive pricing for both business travelers and tourists. We expect that our direct service to Dhaka will encourage bilateral trade and foster economic development,” stated Ammar Kassim, Executive Director of FitsAir.
FitsAir aims to introduce competitive pricing and anticipates that the new route will enhance bilateral trade. Initially, the flights will operate twice a week, with the potential for more frequent service during the summer, subject to government approval.
FitsAir has meticulously designed its flight schedule to facilitate immediate connections to Male, Chennai, and Dubai from Dhaka.
The inaugural flight is scheduled for April 16, 2024, with fares starting at Rs74,600.
