SriLankan Airlines has announced that it would strengthen its operations to the Middle East region.
The Chairman of the Sri Lankan Airlines
Nishantha Wickremasinghe has told the Arabian Travel Market (ATM ) held
in Dubai that the airline which currently flies 47 times a week to nine
of the GCC countries in the Middle East, will increase its flights and
frequencies to many Middle East countries as there is a substantial
increase in the passenger traffic from these destinations.
He has said that the commencement of
direct flights to Dubai and Kuwait from the 1st of May was a step
towards increasing capacity and connectivity from two of our major
markets to Colombo extending SriLankan’s renowned warm hospitality to
Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Bahrain, Doha, Muscat, Dammam, Riyadh, Jeddah and
Kuwait.

Since last year, SriLankan Airlines increased its frequencies to Bahrain (three to five), Doha (five to daily), Muscat (two to four) and Jeddah (three) each week. The launch of daily direct services to Kuwait, which was earlier routed through Dubai, has ensured speedier outbound travel for passengers to Colombo and beyond.(niz)
