Boat Show Srilanka

Sky Cabs was a Sri Lankan domestic airline and cargo service using Russian Anotov aircraft which, in March 2000, had one of its cargo planes shot down.

That shot temporarily grounded all domestic air carriers in Sri Lanka. After that, there is no record of regular passenger service on Sky Cabs; however, the company still exists.

If you’re a beginning pilot or if you to charter a small plane to fly to domestic destinations in Sri Lanka, follow these steps to contact Sky Cabs.

Contact Sky Cabs

1. Phone or fax Sky Cabs directly. It is a good idea to contact smaller companies like Sky Cabs in advance. The Sri Lankan international number for Sky Cabs is 011 (+94) 633 332. The fax number is 011 (+94) 635 575.

2. Find the Sky Cabs Ltd. office. Sky Cabs, also known as the Asian Academy of Aeronautics, has offices at the Ratmalana Airport. Book your itinerary at least 24 hours in advance to assure that your travel plans are possible.

Proceed to Ratmalana Airport in Colombo

1. Arrive in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. Colombo’s Bandaranaike Airport is Sri Lanka’s only international airport. It’s served by large airlines such as British Airways, SriLankan Airlines and Korean Air.

2. Take a taxi to Ratmalana Airport. Ratmalana is about 30 minutes south of Bandaranaike Airport and is easily reached by taxi.Know Restrictions for Traveling to Sri Lanka

1. Be aware of the current political climate. Sri Lanka is a country in transition. Local violence has recently increased due to insurgent groups.

Travelers are warned of a risk of random violence throughout Sri Lanka, more likely in the north and on the eastern borders of the country.

2. Make sure you have proper travel documentation. International travelers always need a valid passport and tourists and travelers in Sri Lanka are granted a visitor visa upon arrival.

Business travelers; however, need a visa before they arrive in Sri Lanka.

Choose a Sky Cabs Plane

1. Travel by yourself and book the Cessna C152. The Cessna 152 is a small two-seat plane primarily used for flying lessons and for tours traveling short distances.

2. Book the Cessna C177 when traveling with passengers. The slightly larger C177 has four seats and is able to fly longer distances.

If you are planning on landing at an airport other than Ratmalana, you will need to provide the names and passport numbers of your passengers.
