SriLankan Airlines suspends flights to China due to current market conditions

SriLankan Airlines has temporarily suspended its services between Sri Lanka and China from March 10 to April 30, 2020 due to current market conditions driven by significant reduction in worldwide travel to and from China.

SriLankan Airlines continued to fly to China after many airlines suspended services or reduced frequencies, including four Chinese airlines that operate between Colombo and China. The Government of China has also imposed restrictions on overseas travel of its own citizens.

The situation is being continuously evaluated on an ongoing basis and SriLankan intends to recommence services as soon as the situation becomes commercially viable. 

Accordingly, SriLankan stands ready to re-commence operations even prior to 30th April if the current market conditions are to normalize.
