Commenting
on why he chooses to fly Mihin Lanka, Alwis stated, “I have flown international
airlines from around the world, but whenever possible, I try to fly Mihin
Lanka. There’s something special about flying a national airline, you feel more
special and both the ground and cabin
crews always take great care of you. Mihin Lanka also always provides
exceptional value for money. I’ve noticed that the entire team doesn’t just strive
to satisfy customers, Mihin Lanka goes the extra mile to delight its
customers.”
Outlining
the key benefits of flying Mihin Lanka, Alwis said, “Mihin Lanka offers
extremely affordable flights and
an excellent service. Mihin Lanka also flies to a variety of
destinations in the region that no other airline flies to. These direct flights
to key locations such as Bahrain, Jakarta and Dhaka offer some of the most
convenient flight options available.
Mihin Lanka also offers really good connection times and is extremely
punctual; I don’t recall a Mihin Lanka flight ever being late.”
Commenting
on a memorable experience he had on board Mihin Lanka, Alwis stated, “I have
flown a variety of carriers to over 70 countries around the world. I fly to Bangladesh, Bahrain and Jakarta
regularly to attend conferences that are part of the Association of Insurance &
Reassurance of Developing Countries (AIRDC). I also travel
extensively for business and pleasure and I have always had a pleasant
experience with Mihin Lanka. I have flown for the finals of every Cricket World Cup that Sri
Lanka has played in since 1996. When I
was returning from the T20 World Cup in Bangladesh, Mihin Lanka was flying the
national cricket team home and it truly was a special experience to fly back
with them. This is one of my fondest memories on board Mihin Lanka. Whenever I
fly Mihin Lanka, I have a hassle free and enjoyable flight experience and that
is why Mihin Lanka is my first choice of airline whenever I plan a trip.”
Highlighting
the national pride he feels in regards to Mihin Lanka, Alwis said, “The next Association
of Insurance & Reassurance of Developing Countries (AIRDC)
conference will be held in the Seychelles. Whilst planning the initial event, I
noticed that many educational and government officials were familiar with Mihin
Lanka and referred to the airline with confidence and praised it. I felt very
proud of the airline and was reassured by how popular and well-reputed Mihin
Lanka is in the Seychelles. The reputation Mihin Lanka is building by offering
great value for money is bringing the airline and the country, significant
recognition around the world.”
