FITS Aviation (Pvt) Ltd, [Formerly known as Expo Aviation (Pvt) Ltd/ExpoAir] is a private limited liability entity established under the laws of Sri Lanka and is also a Board of Investment of Sri Lanka (BOI) registered Company. FitsAir commenced operations in 1997 with a leased cargo aircraft of 10 tonne capacity flying from Sri Lanka to the Maldives Islands. The same year, the company purchased its own 15 tonne Cargo aircraft and in the year 2000 added another aircraft of similar capacity to its fleet, bringing the fleet to 3 aircraft within a year of operation. With the increase of its fleet, FitsAir expanded its cargo operations to neighbouring India and across to Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates. In a milestone achievement FitsAir was granted approval by the Civil Aviation Authority to conduct its own ground handling in 2002, being the first private airline to do so. In June 2002 FitsAir expanded its operations from cargo to daily scheduled domestic passenger flights with a leased 96 seater twin aisled aircraft, flying from Colombo Airport Ratmalana to Palaly Airport, Jaffna. With the tremendous success of the domestic passenger operations FitsAir invested in three 50 seater aircraft in 2003 and increased the frequency of flights to Jaffna to meet demand.
