Emirates to increase flights to Colombo from June 30

Emirates, one of the world's fastest growing airlines, will increase capacity on its services to Colombo from 30th June 2013, with the addition of three more flights per week, the airline announced today.

The addition of three more services, which will operate between Dubai and Colombo on Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays, will increase the number of flights between the two cities to four each day on those days, and take the total number of weekly Emirates flights serving Colombo to 31.

“This increase in capacity to Colombo demonstrates Emirates’ continuing commitment to the destination” said Chandana de Silva, Emirates’ A
area manager for Sri Lanka and Maldives. “The demand for seats to Colombo is increasing, and these additional flights will enable more people to visit the city whether to visit friends and family, for leisure or on business.”
