Turkish Airlines will increase the frequency of flights between Istanbul and Colombo by two additional flights per week to enable travellers’ access to Sri Lanka while offering more seat capacity to and from Europe.
Following diplomatic discussions between Sri Lanka and Türkiye, the initiative was positively received, and after Turkish Airlines’ decision, the Civil Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka granted the necessary approvals without delay.
The additional flights would be introduced on April 5th and continue until October 2026.
