On December 3, Russia’s AZUR Airlines and Air Astana from Kazakhstan will commence flights to Sri Lanka twice a week, whereas Poland’s LOT Polish will commence flights from December 8, and NEOS Airlines from Italy will kick off flights to Colombo from December 15.

With regard to cargo flights, eight airlines have resumed operations.
The ministry said active negotiations are underway with all the airlines that flew to the island nation before the pandemic, to encourage them resume operations.
