SriLankan Airlines has resumed return flights from Qatar and Kuwait to Colombo following temporary disruptions caused by escalating conflict in the Middle East, the airline announced.
According to the airline, affected aircraft were rerouted to Oman for refueling before safely continuing their journey to Sri Lanka.
Upon arrival in Colombo, foreign passengers were accommodated in designated hotels, while Sri Lankan nationals were provided assistance to return to their homes.
Flight schedules for upcoming operations will be finalized based on a thorough assessment of regional security conditions, the airline stated.
Meanwhile, flights to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh experienced minor delays, but landed safely at their intended destinations.
SriLankan Airlines also reassured travelers that all other scheduled flights are operating normally, and that passenger safety remains the top priority amid the evolving regional situation.
