Aviareps, a global leader in tourism, aviation and hospitality representation with 52 offices in 42 countries around the world, has been appointed by Cinnamon Air, Sri Lanka’s premier domestic airline, as its representative in the UAE and Qatar.

The appointment was made as the airline seeks to firmly establish and strengthen its brand and sales outreach among travellers and travel industry leaders from the Middle East, said a statement.

As part of the representation, Aviareps will be responsible for the airline’s sales promotions and marketing in the region.

Romesh David, director, Cinnamon Air, said: “Our aim is to expand our clientele base further in the Middle East and attract more travellers to visit Sri Lanka. We are confident that Aviareps is the best partner for us to achieve our ambitious goals and professionally serve our passengers from the Middle East market.”

Cinnamon Air will provide domestic Air Taxi services that operate daily scheduled flights from its base at the Bandaranaike International Airport to key destinations across the country including Kandy, Sigiriya, Trincomalee, Batticaloa, Dickwella and Koggala.

It will also offer short scenic flights and charter flights to any part of the island for groups, cruise passengers and corporate travellers.

These scheduled services will be retailed through the airline’s tour operators and travel agents and directly to customers via the Cinnamon Air website, said the statement.

“The journey times to Sri Lanka’s many scenic cities and attractions throughout the country can be time-consuming. This is something that hinders people from visiting Sri Lanka’s many treasures outside Colombo during a short-break. At Cinnamon Air, we provide speedy scheduled air taxi services and scenic charter flights that not only allow you to be in any part of the country in less than 60 minutes but also offer picturesque views of the verdant country below. Cinnamon Air allows travellers to explore the island like never before whilst maximising a visitor’s time.”

Cinnamon Air’s fleet consists of two eight-seater Cessna 208 Amphibian Caravans and a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan wheeled aircraft, both amphibian aircraft have the capability of landing on land and water, and all three aircrafts are amongst the most reliable planes in the world. - TradeArabia News Service
