Maldivian Airlines has exciting news for travellers: the launch of a new route to Colombo, Sri Lanka in April 2024. Today, the national carrier unveiled plans to commence services on April 25th, linking Velana International Airport with Bandaranaike International Airport in Sri Lanka.
While this isn't the first time the national carrier has flown to Sri Lanka, the announcement marks a significant milestone for Maldivians, offering easier access to a destination immensely popular among its citizens. Sri Lanka, with its proximity and allure, has become a second home for many Maldivians, with some even relocating there permanently. This new route promises to facilitate smoother journeys for families and friends eager to visit their loved ones.
The decision to introduce these new routes underscores the airline's commitment to expanding its services. Beyond linking travellers to various islands in the Maldives, the national carrier already provides affordable connections to Bangalore. Now, with the inclusion of Colombo, passengers have yet another enticing destination to explore with Maldivian Airlines.
This strategic expansion not only broadens the airline's reach but also opens up a world of opportunities for travellers. Whether it's soaking up the sun-kissed beaches of the Maldives or immersing oneself in the rich culture and history of Sri Lanka, Maldivian Airlines is poised to facilitate unforgettable journeys for its passengers.
