HolidayAir to launch in March

HolidayAir, the Lankan low cost airline which was waiting in the wings for more than a year, will finally take off in March next year.
“We are looking to launch on March 10 and will be occupying our operational offices at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) by February,” Arjun Ruzaik, CEO, HolidayAir told The Sunday Times FT.
He said HolidayAir will have only one A320 aircraft, but within two years, when the complete roll out happens, the company will have eight aircraft. “Presently we will be flying only four routes (Cochin, Calicut, Trichy and Trivandrum in India), but in 24 months, we will be flying 16 to 20 routes including the Far East, Middle East and Near East, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore, and the Maldives,”
HolidayAir, together with Deccan Air and Expo Air were granted approval to fly to four destinations in India late last year by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), but the latter two dropped out of the race after a much publicised battle.
