KARACHI: SriLankan Airlines is going to launch a fourth weekly flight between Colombo and Lahore from Tuesday (today).
According to the details, the SriLankan Airlines is now connecting two cities – Colombo and Lahore every Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday with the new addition.
The airline also operates four times a week to Karachi, and is the only foreign airline in the Indian Subcontinent to cover Pakistan’s two biggest cities in its network and offer direct services between Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

We are on a continuous quest to make travel seamless for customers, and our customers travelling from Lahore will now have stronger connections to Colombo and SriLankan’s extensive network beyond Colombo in the Maldives, the Far East, Australia and Europe.”
SriLankan Airlines further provides a range of benefits for passengers including special fares for leisure tourists and groups, an additional 10kg baggage allowance for students and free hotel accommodation in Colombo for long transit passengers.
