SriLankan Airlines will increase its frequency on the Nairobi-Colombo route starting end of October on growing passenger demand from Asia. The airline that launched operations on the route in April says flights will increase to two from one per week.
Passengers will pay an average fare of Sh90,800 ($820) on a return air ticket in the route. “The flight will cut travel time between the two destinations to six hours,” Ruwan Fernando, CEO of Mayleen Kenya Limited— the Passenger sales agent for SriLankan Airlines in Kenya told Shipping and Logistics in an interview yesterday.
