Emirates is planning to add an additional daily direct flight between Dubai and Colombo, starting from December 1, 2022, to cater to the seasonal increase in the demand for travel. The additional service will increase the number of daily flights between the two cities to three, including two direct flights and one operating via the Maldivian capital, Male.
Emirates’ second daily flight will operate direct between Dubai and Colombo, except from 16 to 30 December, when the service from Dubai to Colombo will stop over in Male.
Emirates operates its modern Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in a three-class configuration on flights to Colombo, offering private suites in First Class, lie-flat seats in Business Class and spacious seats in Economy Class.
Emirates launched operations to Sri Lanka in 1986 and celebrated 36 years of operations to Colombo earlier this year.
