You are talking about post 9/11 period which is almost forgotten in the industry already!Although I do not know the condition of Mihin Air, it does offer very attractive low prices for short distance flying!For an example: If someone takes flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Sri Lanka using Sri Lankan airlines (which is the cheapest) it will cost Malaysian Ringgit 1480/= which rougly converts to Rs.50,000/= +If that person can travel to Singapore and catch Mihin Air flight it will cost him 275 Sing. Dollars which roughly converted to around Rs. 21,000/= that's half of the cost saved..From Malaysia to Singapore the bus ride will cost Rs.1000/= and a night in a decent hotel will be Rs.5500/= calculated still the total is Rs. 27000/= ~And its still cheaper than taking Sri Lankan airlines! Of course Sri Lankan airlines is more comfy and posh you may say! But as for me I dont really mind a 3 hour short jouney on a budget airline and from the money I save I'll get some goods for my family!!So there's a MARKET for low cost airlines! its not a bad deseicion but how well people admin it is a different matter!</blockquote>
