Due to the temporary closure of airspace across parts of the Middle East region, flights operating to and from affected destinations have been temporarily suspended by SriLankan Airlines and FitsAir.

Passengers departing from airports in Sri Lanka are kindly advised to contact their respective airline or authorized travel agent prior to leaving for the airport to confirm the status of their flights.

In order to minimize congestion within airport premises during this period, passengers are respectfully requested not to bring visitors to the terminal.

Under the guidance of the Ministry of Ports and Civil Aviation, and with the leadership of the Hon. Minister, Deputy Minister, Secretary, Capt. Daminda Rambukwella (Director General of Civil Aviation & Chief Executive Officer), contingency arrangements have been coordinated in consultation with relevant stakeholders to facilitate passengers affected by this situation.

Despite these challenging circumstances, every effort is being made to ensure the continuity of airport operations. Your cooperation and understanding are sincerely appreciated.
