SriLankan Airlines recently celebrated seven successful years of connecting the city of Madurai in Tamil Nadu with Colombo and beyond. As the only non-Indian carrier to navigate the city’s skies, SriLankan Airlines has stamped an indelible mark on the international travel landscape of Madurai, bridging distances and people between Madurai and Colombo, and in a broader sense between Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka.
The airline has played a central role in ushering in a new convenience in foreign travel to the people of Madurai. As a matter of fact, SriLankan’sunprecedented direct service, which now entails flights every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday between the two cities, was what prompted Indian Immigration Authorities to introduce the e-Visa facility to the Madurai Airport.
SriLankan Airlines’ convenient flight schedule to and from Madurai further unlocks a host of seamless connections via Colombo to key points across the Middle East, Europe, the Far East and Australia in the airline’s network. The airline’s flight connections are designed for convenience and benefit migrant workers, students, business travellers and leisure tourists flying internationally out of Madurai.
