    SL to allow chartered flights to fly out tourists
    Thu, Mar 26 2020 02:55:14 PM




    Colombo, Mar 26 (IANS): Sri Lanka will allow chartered flights from any country to land here and to fly out their nationals who are currently in the island nation on a holiday or work on request, an official statement said on Thursday.

    The Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority statement said that as of Wednesday, there were 18,093 international tourists in the country according to local immigration authorities, and Sri Lanka Tourism was closely working with the Foreign Ministry and respective embassies and high commissions to arrange necessary facilities, reports Xinhua news agency.

    "Though arrivals are suspended into the country, all departures are supported and SriLankan Airlines operates departure flights daily to UK, Melbourne and Narita," the statement said.

    "Sri Lanka Tourism would facilitate any country to fly out their nationals on holiday or on work here, back to their home country via charter flights on request," it added.

    Sri Lanka Tourism further said due to the current islandwide curfew, the police had assured that foreign nationals could use their air tickets as a curfew pass to reach the airport.

    Sri Lanka's Civil Aviation Authority earlier this week banned international passenger flights from landing at the Bandaranaike International Airport, until further notice to prevent imported new cases of the COVID-19 into the country, but said departures would continue.

    Sri Lanka has so far reported 102 confirmed coronavirus cases with no deaths.

    A curfew in capital Colombo, Gampaha and Kalutara, on the outskirts of Colombo and the northern province is in place indefinitely.

            Another close call.

            This is what happens when you promote people above their level of ability.

              I understand all Expats have been placed on mandatory unpaid leave.

              This is a contract violation imho - doubt anyone will get anywhere in the current corrupt legal system.

                    Nobody took pictures of 9H-SUN (former 4R-ADE) when it came through Colombo on the 17/18 April?

                    It has been painted in the Hifly colour scheme and it looks really nice.

                    Aircraft was returning from a repatriation flight.

                            Would be interesting to see if it's a resumption of services to just carry cargo or if they have permission to repatriate citizens either way.
