SriLankan Airlines has launched new services to the southern Indian city of Hyderabad. 
The airline is offering a four-times-a-week service to Hyderabad, connecting the city to Doha and other places through its global route network.
In a press statement, SriLankan said Hyderabad is one of three south Indian cities that the airline has commenced operations to in July, together with Visakhapatnam and Coimbatore. With these additions, the airline operates 126 flights per week to 14 cities in India, with existing services to Chennai, Trichy, Trivandrum, Mumbai, New Delhi, Gaya, Madurai, Varanasi, Kochi, Bengaluru and Kolkata. 
SriLankan Airlines chief commercial officer Siva Ramachandran said, “We are delighted to extend our services to Hyderabad, which we believe is an important addition to our global network. This new service reflects SriLankan’s continuous commitment in consolidating the Asian market and offering travellers seamless travel experiences with great comfort.” 
Travellers to and from Hyderabad can now “enjoy SriLankan’s award-winning hospitality onboard its ultra-modern fleet of Airbus aircraft, which possess the most sophisticated in-flight entertainment systems and superior comforts”, the statement notes.
Accordingly, SriLankan has deployed its brand-new A320neo and A321neo aircraft on its routes to south India.
The airline stressed that the launch of new services by SriLankan to Hyderabad “would boost connectivity for the business community by providing all industries in Hyderabad, one of the largest industrial centres in India, with enhanced opportunities for rapid and seamless transport of all types of cargo throughout SriLankan’s network”.
SriLankan’s global route network now spans 105 cities in 47 countries. As a member of the oneworld alliance, SriLankan also offers its passengers connectivity to over 1,000 cities in 160 countries that are served by its oneworld partner airlines.
