A new network for SriLankan
New business plan for the national airline of Sri Lanka proposes to:
Serve only 14 destinations (which have been profitable, as per the analysis)
Operate only twin aisle aircraft
Manage the network/business from Point to Point perspective rather than as a Hub and Spoke carrier
Make air cargo a major consideration in network planning and management
The new business plan envisages a baseline year revenue of US$ 433 Mn after implementing the proposed changes
Thereafter, the plan forecasts a 5% annual increase in revenue
The twin aisle fleet of the airline consists of 9x A330 aircraft
