Airports at each end
Departure options: Bandaranaike International Colombo Airport (CMB / VCBI). Arrival options: Chennai International Airport (MAA / VOMM). The best pairing depends on runway performance for the aircraft, slot and parking availability, customs hours and the real ground transfer at each end. Local time at departure follows Asia/Colombo and at arrival Asia/Kolkata.
Aircraft suited to this sector
For roughly 349 nautical miles, suitable options include light jets for small groups on short sectors; midsize and super-midsize jets for a fuller cabin and more baggage. Final aircraft selection depends on passenger and baggage load, runway performance at both airports and what is genuinely available on your dates.
What the quote covers
Each request is quoted individually because cost depends on the aircraft category, one-way or return, positioning legs, airport and handling fees, permits, crew requirements and the dates themselves. You receive written options with the aircraft set out rather than a published hourly rate, and nothing is confirmed until availability is held with the operator.
How MEGA runs the flight
MEGA arranges each flight through registered third-party operators. The operations desk reviews the requested routing, passenger and baggage load, airport access, permit lead times, crew duty limits and any special handling before an aircraft is proposed, so what you are quoted is what can realistically be flown.
Every figure on this page is a planning indication drawn from published airport and geographic data, not a schedule or a price. Airborne time moves with the aircraft type, winds, air traffic routing and the exact airport pairing; ground time moves with slots, customs and handling at each end.
Requests are handled by one desk around the clock, so the same team that quotes the flight also runs it. Send the route, dates, passenger count and any medical, cargo or ground-transport requirements and you will receive written options rather than a rate card.
