British Airways resumes flights to Sri Lanka
The flag carrier of the United Kingdom, British Airways will resume its services to Sri Lanka from the 14th of April, 2013.
After a 15-year absence, the carrier will start flights from Gatwick airport in London to Sri Lanka's Colombo international Airport in Katunayake via Male in the Maldives.
The service will run three times a week on Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday on a Boeing 777-200.
The carrier said it will be offering three classes, flat beds in Club World class, premium economy in World Traveller plus and World Traveller standard economy seats.
"Sri Lanka has emerged as one of the most popular destinations among leisure and business travellers," Christopher Fordyce British Airways' regional commercial manager for South Asia said in a statement.
The official said Sri Lanka offers immense opportunities and scope in tourism and economic growth particularly for the small and medium enterprises segment.
Next to India, Britain is the second largest source of tourists for Sri Lanka with 114,218 tourists arriving in the island in 2012.

It's going to be great to see another Boeing 777 in Colombo. At present Emirates, Cathay Pacific and Saudia are the only operators who are sending B777s to Colombo
