SriLankan Airlines committed to serve India as the Airline continues to consolidate operations to pre-COVID-19 levels

SriLankan Airlines, today, assured Indian travellers that the Airline is committed to increasing the flights to destinations that were temporarily halted due to the pandemic, restoring operations to pre-COVID-19 levels, and offering Indian travellers a wide range of connections to Sri Lanka. Ashok Pathirage, Chairman, SriLankan Airlines, said, “India is our biggest market, and we are dedicated to re-establish operations to full scale where the Indian market is concerned. We continued to operate both passenger and cargo flights to and from India even during periods of lockdown and despite many global travel restrictions. “It is an ideal time to create awareness about SriLankan Airlines’ operations in the Indian market and build confidence among travellers to book with the Airline as lockdowns are being lifted and global travel restrictions are eased. “The inflow of tourists from India to Sri Lanka has increased considerably in the last few months, with Sri Lanka being one of the first few countries to open borders and welcome fully vaccinated Indian travellers including those who have taken Covaxin. India continues to be one of Sri Lanka’s most significant source markets for international travellers.” “The Airline was able to adapt to meet the changing needs of the industry as the pandemic raged on and played a key role in bridging countries and facilitating the movement of people and critical supplies, including between India and Sri Lanka,” stated Richard Nuttall, Chief Commercial Officer, SriLankan Airlines.
