SriLankan to operate limited passenger flights including Colombo to Melbourne flights for eligible passengers

Commencing from this week  SriLankan Airlines is offering passengers (who are eligible to travel)  to limited destinations including Melbourne, London Tokyo, Hong Kong and beyond under a special travel scheme considering  the reopening of economic activity in the world followed by easing of some travel restrictions between countries.

Accordingly, passengers who wish to travel to these destinations or beyond can also now purchase their tickets through Sri Lankan Offices or through your travel agent. Currently most governments are allowing travelers stranded overseas to return to their countries subject to stipulated validity of the respective travel documentation and periods of quarantine.

The airline will also operate Special Cargo Flights to 17 destinations, which are being operated by the National Carrier to support Sri Lanka’s export industries during this time of crisis. These will include three weekly flights to Male; two flights a week to Chennai, Hong Kong, Singapore, London, Doha, Dubai, Melbourne, Beijing, Guangzhou (Canton), and Shanghai; and one weekly flight each to Mumbai, Karachi, Lahore, Dhaka, Frankfurt, and Tokyo (Narita).

The flights to London, Tokyo (Narita), Melbourne and Hong Kong will operate for both passengers and cargo.

Passengers who wish to travel using these new flights are reminded that they should ensure that they are eligible to enter the respective countries depending on the restrictions imposed by regulatory authorities in each country.

Passengers who intend to travel under this scheme are kindly requested check their respective boarder control or emigration authorities   or contact their travel agents before purchasing any tickets.
