Italian models who participated in the Sri Lanka Design Festival flew to Koggala courtesy SriLankan AirTaxi earlier this week on a tour of the south coast.

These models took part in a fashion photoshoot during their stay in Galle and also toured the attractions of the coastal city.

The 10 models were part of a contingent of an international group of participants at the Sri Lanka Design Festival held from November, 16-19 where SriLankan Airlines was the Official Airline partner.

Over 40 participants from Italy, United Kingdom and India that included international models, design experts and other personalities of the industry were flown down by the national carrier, to be part of the fashion extravaganza conducted by the Academy of Design.

SriLankan AirTaxi has become increasingly popular for domestic travel among both locals and tourists, due its novelty and convenience afforded to travellers.

The fast expanding network of the float plane service covering major towns and cities in the provinces and even the farthest outpost locations that are now emerging tourist destinations, is proving to be a major boost for tourism development in the country.

SriLankan AirTaxi now operates scheduled flights to Kandy, Bentota, Dickwella, Koggala, Nuwara Eliya and to Dambulla from the South coast.

Charter operations are now possible to Tissa, Hambantota, Victoria (Kandy), Castlereigh, Trinco, Ampara, Arugam Bay and Iranamadu in Kilinochchi.

Batticaloa is next up to come online in SriLankan AirTaxis’ charter operations.
