If all goes according to plan, direct flights to Sri Lanka are expected to begin as early as the upcoming holiday season. and will last about six hours. Arkia has already submitted an official request to operate direct flights to the destination, and when all the approvals are received, the company intends to do so immediately.
Direct flights to Sri Lanka are currently possible on a short route due to the opening of the possibility of flying over Oman and Saudi Arabia, since it is possible to fly to the destination on a short and direct route, which also allows companies with narrow-body planes such as Arkia to operate direct flights to the destination.
Sri Lanka is considered one of the most beautiful destinations in the world, with spectacular beaches, fine culinary, fascinating culture and very cheap prices.
