Realines is a low-cost carrier in Sri Lanka. Founded in 2004 with 3 DC-9 aircraft, the airline rapidly expanded, introducing the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 in 2010, with all of the DC-9s retired by 2013. Long-haul flights were started in 2014 with Boeing 767s, and regional flights in 2016 with the deHavilland Canada Dash-8. By early 2018, Realines was operating every Dash 8 variant other than the Q400, as well as every MD-80 variant, and continues to do so.

Why Realines?
Realines offers you cheap tickets, and we get you from here to there and back with no hassle. Don’t want that fancy meal? Don’t pay for other passengers to eat it either! Don’t need a checked bag? Don’t pay for everyone else’s checked luggage!

However, if you want any of these things and more, just ask, and for a very low price, we’ll add them onto your ticket! We can give you a meal, entertainment, check luggage, overhead bin space, and more! Just ask us!

Realines Fleet:

Realines operates a large fleet of comfortable aircraft, which will take you to your destination at a low cost! All Realines aircraft are named after cities and provinces in Sri Lanka, showing that we are Sri Lanka's local airline!


Boeing 767-200ER



The Boeing 767-200ER is the longest range variant of the Boeing 767, and provides excellent comfort for passengers while still remaining economically and environmentally viable. Realines uses the 767-200ER on the longest routes from Sri Lanka, such as routes to New York, Los Angeles, and more. The 767-200ER’s seat map is below.




Boeing 767-300(ER)



The Boeing 767-300 and -300ER are extended fuselage versions of the original 767. These aircraft feature additional seating capacity for higher-demand routes, and generally operate long-haul routes, as well as a few higher-demand short hops. Select Boeing 767-300 and -300ER aircraft acquired from Delta Air Lines feature in-flight WiFi, with prices starting at just Rs2000 for a one-flight pass! Seat map is below.



McDonnell MD-81, MD-82, MD-83, MD-88




The MD-80 offers high levels of comfort, as well as a quieter cabin in most seats. Realines operates all variants of the MD-80, including the long-range MD-83 and the updated MD-88. The MD-80 family is the backbone of the Realines fleet, operating routes such as Colombo to Singapore, Colombo to Jakarta, Colombo to Delhi and more. Select members of the MD-80 fleet that have been purchased used from American Airlines and Delta Air Lines are equipped with WiFi connectivity, which costs just Rs 2000 for an entire-flight pass. The seat map for the MD-81, MD-82, MD-83, and MD-88 variants are below.



McDonnell MD-87



The McDonnell Douglas MD-87 is a special variant of the MD-80 family. Equipped with a lower seating capacity, but increased range, the MD-87 offers jet engine comfort on routes where jets are not otherwise viable. Combine that with a quiet cabin and a spacious 2-3 seating layout, and you’ve got a winner. The MD-87 seat map is available below.



deHavilland Canada Dash-8-100/200



The Dash-8-100 and 200 are modern, quiet, and comfortable turboprops. The -100 is the original variant of the Dash-8, originally a larger and more refined version of the DHC-6 Twin Otter. The -200 improves on the -100 with new engines and a new cabin. The "baby dash" is very comfortable, and allows for routes that would otherwise not be viable with a larger aircraft, such as domestic Sri Lankan flights and more!



deHavilland Canada Dash-8-300



The Dash-8-300 is a longer, higher-capacity version of the Dash-8-100/200. The -300 offers a larger seating capacity, and is perfect for operating multiple frequencies to routes that otherwise would only support a single jet frequency. The 2-2 seating arrangement allows for added comfort, and all Dash-8s have quiet, low-vibration turboprop engines that propel you to your destination in comfort.
