Mihin Lanka gets another aircraft
Sri Lanka’s state-owned budget carrier Mihin Lanka added another plane to its fleet from yesterday with the delivery of an Airbus 320-200 aircraft on a lease basis from the Airbus Company of France.
The plane arrived at Bandaranaike International Airport in Katunayake yesterday. It was flown from Clark International Airport in Philippines by Mihin Lanka chief pilot and the technical staff who went to inspect the plane.
Mihin Lanka CEO Kapila Chandrasena took over the plane at the Katunayake airport. The budget carrier acquired another aircraft in the month of August.
