David Pieris Aviation charts a new era in domestic air travel

David Pieris Aviation (Private) Limited continues to strengthen its presence in Sri Lanka’s domestic aviation sector following the receipt of its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) and Operations Specifications (Ops-Specs) from the Civil Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka (CAASL) recently.

With full certification now in place, the company has been successfully operating charter flights across key domestic destinations, delivering a new level of convenience, reliability and safety in local air travel.

The certification awarded a few months ago, formalised David Pieris Aviation’s transition from operating under third-party arrangements to becoming a fully licensed domestic airline operator.

This development reinforces the company’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of aviation safety, operational efficiency and customer experience — principles that have guided the David Pieris Group for decades.

Operating with its Cessna Grand Caravan, a modern and trusted aircraft known for comfort and performance, David Pieris Aviation now caters to the growing demand for private and charter services — an increasingly popular choice among business leaders, tourists and families seeking flexibility, privacy and time efficiency.

Passengers can charter flights to thirteen key destinations across Sri Lanka including Jaffna (Palaly), Katunayake, Mattala, Weerawila, Tincomallee, Batticaloa, Sigiriya, Iranamadu, Koggala, Katukurunda (Kalutara), Ampara, Anuradhapura and Hingurakgoda allowing both corporate and leisure travellers to reach their destinations in comfort while avoiding the delays and challenges of road travel.

The company’s focus on providing a seamless experience, from booking to landing, has earned it growing recognition among domestic and international travelers alike.

Speaking on the progress, Mr. Johann Pieris, Chairman, David Pieris Aviation said that the company’s operations are driven by a vision to “redefine domestic connectivity with fly quickly, safely and in comfort.” With the Group’s strong heritage of excellence and customer trust, the airline continues to play a key role in improving regional accessibility, supporting tourism and creating economic opportunities across Sri Lanka.

David Pieris Aviation is committed to further expanding its domestic network and enhancing flight frequency in the near future. The company remains focused on its mission to make air travel within Sri Lanka faster, safer and more comfortable, connecting communities and destinations with professionalism and care.
