SriLankan Airlines is to temporarily suspend all its flights from 8 April 2020 to 21 April 2020 in view of the travel restrictions imposed by the destinations they operate to.

Issuing a statement, SriLankan Airlines said it is reviewing market conditions and the restrictions and is ready to recommence operations at short notice even before April 21 if such restrictions are lifted.

The statement added that it is “willing to operate special flights during this period to repatriate the Sri Lankans who are wanting to return to the country if required”.

The cargo services of the airline will continue to operate from its worldwide network special flights as and when required, the statement read.

Meanwhile, the country’s national flag carrier announced that it has implemented a re-booking and reissue policy on www.srilankan.com for passengers who have been inconvenienced due to the current circumstances.
