The launch of airline badly named airline

It takes guts to launch a new airline in the midst of a global pandemic, so the debut of EGO Airways, an Italian start-up that will fly domestic routes from March 28, deserves applause. The name suggests no lack of confidence, although as often happens the creators of brands rarely think things through. When its customers arrive late for a meeting, “Sorry, my EGO was delayed,” will surely take some explaining.
Fortunately, some carriers boast refreshingly direct monikers. Wizz Air, easyJet, Delhi-based Zoom Air and Boom, which plans to launch supersonic flights in 2030, are all commendably on message. But then so, presumably, was Flash Airlines, an Egyptian charter company that folded in 2004, Icelandic WOW (bankrupt after seven years), and Go, the low-cost airline created in 1998 by British Airways that was merrily going around Europe until, of course, it was gone.
Sri Lankan Luxury
Everyone asked me the same question once they found out I had been to Sri Lanka 3 years before, âHas it changed since you were here last?â
It took me a long time to determine that answer, but after spending 2 weeks there with way too much time looking out the window of a vehicle getting from place to place I decided it has changed in some ways.
There were more tourists (which means more cars on the roads), and a few new highways being built. But the main change I noticed was the sheer number of mid range to luxury hotels and lodging that had been developed since I was there last. Sri Lanka luxury accommodation were in abundance now. The last time I was in Sri Lanka I traveled independently on a tight budget and I mainly used Trip Advisor and Booking.com to find cheap places to stay.
