FitsAir has launched four times weekly flights to Kuala Lumpur with plans to extend its reach into South-east Asia and the Middle East.
But who is FitsAir?
The relatively unknown airline began its aviation journey in 1997 as an air cargo carrier.
In 2022, FitsAir became the first privately owned airline designated by the Sri Lankan government to operate scheduled international passenger air services out of Sri Lanka. It began operations one year later, using Airbus A320 aircraft.
Owner Aberdeen Holdings (Private) Limited is a supply chain specialist for spices in Sri Lanka and around the world. It also has interests in pharmaceutical, recycling and packaging.
Ammar Kassim, executive director, of FitsAir, said, “Our commitment lies in hassle-free travel and on time performance.”
FitsAir currently operates International routes from Colombo to Chennai, Dubai, Dhaka and the Maldives, with expectations to further expand its roster with services to Singapore, Bangkok, Jakarta, Jeddah, Kuwait and Riyadh.
