India’s Indigo Airlines will fly to Jaffna International Airport from Chennai, Sri Lanka’s state-run Airport and Aviation Service Ltd, which run the Indian Ocean island’s airport said.
At the moment India’s Alliance Air flies once a day to Jaffna from Chennai.
Due to the short runway length the airline uses smaller ATR-72 aircraft.
According to Indigo’s website, the airline also has 45 ATR-78 aircraft in its fleet.
AASL did not say when the flights will begin.
