                  Such suggestions happen when you don’t have the right people in the right places

                  The most practical route would be RML-MAA-RML , whilst JAF-MAA-JAF remains as it is​

                      • Air Serbia has said it is looking into long-haul leisure routes it could operate during the winter months, however, the airline noted it is primarily targeting less served destinations. The carrier expects to take delivery of its third Airbus A330-200 jet before the start of the 2023/24 winter season, and a fourth will likely follow shortly after.

                        Based on data from global travel provider OAG, cities that could be considered as leisure destinations with strong demand from Belgrade include Bangkok, Pattaya, Denpasar (Bali), Male (Maldives), Havana, Colombo, Seychelles, Zanzibar, Mauritius, Cancun and Varadero in Cuba.

                        • Sri Lanka is currently in talks with China Southern Airlines and its subsidiary Chongqing Airlines to launch additional direct flights between the two countries.

                          Air China is planning to resume flights between Chengdu and Colombo on July 3. Sri Lanka sees the new service as a way to revive its tourism industry, which has suffered major blows from a terrorist attack in 2019 and the COVID-19 pandemic. The reopening of outbound tourism from China is expected to bring a larger number of Chinese tourists to Sri Lanka.
