SriLankan operated flights to Paris and Milanearly Wednesday (21^st April). Flights to London were to commence on Wednesday afternoon. The airline is awaiting the latest information from Eurocontrol with regard to restarting flights to Frankfurt.

The airline’s regular schedule consists of 19 flights per week to its five European destinations.

Passengers whose flights were disrupted will be accommodated on additional flights, with those booked on the earliest flights which were disrupted being accommodated first. Passengers whose flights were disrupted should call SriLankan Airlines on 01 9733 5500 to check on their alternate flights.

However, passengers should also call ahead several hours prior to flight departure to check on whether their flight is operating as scheduled.

SriLankan, which has built a strong tradition of passenger safety, is closely monitoring the situation and is liaising with Eurocontrol on the latest situation.
