City of Dreams Sri Lanka-Cinnamon Hotels-FitsAir initiate direct Ahmedabad-Colombo flights

City of Dreams Sri Lanka, in collaboration with Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts and Walkers Tours, has partnered with FitsAir, on its direct scheduled passenger flights connecting Ahmedabad and Colombo, enhancing connectivity for the Indian travellers to South Asia’s first fully integrated resort. 

FitsAir, Sri Lanka’s first private international airline, will operate the service, providing the travellers with convenient connectivity and a comfortable travel experience between Ahmedabad and Colombo.

The new Ahmedabad-Colombo service, operated by FitsAir, will run three times a week, catering to the travellers from Gujarat, one of Sri Lanka’s key and fast-growing source markets from India. 

With strong cultural ties and rising outbound travel from the region, Gujarat continues to show growing interest in Sri Lanka as a preferred leisure destination. The state’s well-established travel trade network and strong appetite for international leisure experiences make it an important market for tourism to Sri Lanka. 

The enhanced connectivity further strengthens travel between the two regions while positioning Colombo as an attractive luxury getaway for the Indian travellers.

Located in the heart of Colombo, City of Dreams Sri Lanka is part of a broader vision to position the city as a vibrant hub for entertainment, leisure and lifestyle in the region, encouraging the travellers to experience Colombo as a destination. The guests can stay at Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams or explore other Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts in Colombo, including Cinnamon Grand, Cinnamon Lakeside and Cinnamon Red, offering a range of luxury, upscale and contemporary stays while discovering the city.

The launch of the direct Ahmedabad-Colombo flights also introduces curated Cinnamon holiday packages designed specifically for the Indian travellers, combining the City of Dreams Sri Lanka experience with multi-destination itineraries across the island, including cultural experiences in Kandy and beach stays at the Cinnamon resorts. These offerings aim to deliver a seamless travel experience while showcasing Sri Lanka’s diverse leisure offerings.

Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts Senior Vice President Colombo Hotels and Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams General Manager Kamal Munasinghe said, “India continues to be one of our most important markets and Gujarat in particular has shown strong interest in Colombo as a leisure destination. These dedicated flights provide a seamless gateway for the travellers to experience the vibrant energy, entertainment and hospitality that define City of Dreams Sri Lanka, while exploring curated Cinnamon holiday experiences across the island.”  

“Ahmedabad is one of India’s most vibrant commercial centres and a city we’ve long wanted to bring into our network. Our overnight departure from Colombo arrives early in the morning, giving the travellers a full day ahead. It also opens up smooth onward connections through Colombo across our ever-growing international network,” said FitsAir Director Ammar Kassim. 

Flights are currently operating three times weekly between Ahmedabad and Colombo, with the bookings available as part of specially curated Cinnamon travel packages starting from INR 55,555, which includes the return air fare, two nights’ accommodation with breakfast at Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams and private airport transfers.
