An Emirates flight which was scheduled to land at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) this evening was diverted to the Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport (MRIA) due to the adverse weather conditions, the MRIA manager Upul Kalansuriya said.
He said the Emirates EK 652 had arrived from Dubai via Male.
