Helitours is the commercial air arm of the Sri Lanka Air Force and came into being in 1972. It is currently incorporated as a company, technically independent of the state but managed by the Sri Lanka Air Force. In May2019, the government agreed to take over the airline and formalise its status as a state-owned, military-run airline. Helitours operated scheduled passenger flights until early Aug2018 and is hoping to restart. Helitours has now recertified for civilian flights in 1Q2022
< scheduled carrier based out of Colombo Ratmalana (RML) >
