Air Sri Lanka

Emirates has announced that the airline would terminate the flights between Colombo and Singapore from the end of October this year. However, the frequency of the Dubai and Colombo flights will remain the same. 

 

Accordingly, the final day of service from Colombo to Singapore will be on 27 October 2018, while the final flight from Singapore to Colombo will depart on 28 October 2018.

 

It has been speculated that SriLankan Airlines' Melbourne flights have taken away a most of the Emirates traffic between Australia and Sri Lanka.

 

Currently, Emirates is flying One Daily flight between Colombo and Singapore with flight number EK348 & EK349 onboard Boeing B777-300.

 

According to Daily Mirror, “Passengers with flights originating from Dubai or Singapore with a layover in Colombo will be rebooked on to alternative flights and notified accordingly. Customers booked only on the affected flights between Singapore and Colombo should contact the travel company where their original booking was made for assistance,” the Spokesperson said. They said Sri Lanka is an important business and leisure destination for Emirates and that it continues to serve the Sri Lankan market directly from Dubai. “Emirates apologises for any inconvenience caused by the suspension of this route,” Emirates spokesman said.
