COLOMBO – Effective Friday (18), Sri Lanka’s national carrier SriLankan Airlines will be operating three flights a week to Singapore and also including a Colombo-Kuala Lumpur weekly flight every Friday, as the airline maps a recovery program for an industry hard hit by the pandemic.
SriLankan at present operates a weekly flight to Singapore.
In a statement announcing the increased flights, the Airline clarified that the flights would be operated subject to COVID-19 entry restrictions and border closures imposed by the respective countries. It also assured the Airline was prioritizing the safety and wellbeing of its passengers through a range of additional measures to offer COVID-19 preventive services at the airport and onboard.
The statement urged passengers to be aware of these travel conditions before booking flights with SriLankan Airlines, adding that tickets could be booked from travel agents or the airline.
Over the past few months SiLankan has been operating the Colombo-Singapore routes specifically to cater to the demand for cargo capacity with its fleet of passenger and freighter aircraft.
