SriLankan Airlines suspends flights to Moscow

Date:

The SriLankan Airlines has suspended its air flights between Colombo and Moscow, Russia, with effect from today (28) due to the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine.

A statement issued by the SriLankan Airlines revealed that the restrictions are in the form of international financial and aircraft insurance limits which have been imposed on Russia due to the conflict situation.

The statement:

SriLankan Airlines announces the suspension of operations between Sri Lanka and Moscow, Russia with effect from today due to operational restrictions that are outside of the airline’s control.

The restrictions are in the form of international financial and aircraft insurance limits which have been imposed on Russia due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, and directly impact SriLankan Airlines’ flight operations to Russia. Accordingly, SriLankan Airlines will cease operations to Moscow until further notice.

The airline expresses regret for any inconvenience caused to customers by this decision taken on account of a force majeure situation. SriLankan will continue to monitor the situation in Russia, and hopes to restart operations once conditions improve. SriLankan maintained two weekly flights between Colombo and Moscow before the cessation of operations.
