FitsAir, Sri Lanka’s low-cost airline, announced on Thursday it would launch direct flights connecting Colombo and Dhaka, Bangladesh from April 16, 2024.
FitsAir currently operates direct services to Dubai, Male and Chennai from its hub in Colombo. The new move represents a significant milestone in regional aviation, addressing the growing demand for affordable travel options between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, the airline said in a media release.
According to Ammar Kassim, Executive Director of FitsAir, "The Bangladesh economy is one of the fastest growing in the world, and we're excited to offer competitive prices for business travellers and visitors alike. We anticipate our non-stop service to Dhaka will stimulate bilateral trade and economic growth."
The newly added route will initially operate twice weekly, with an anticipated increased frequency in the summer, subject to government approval.
