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

“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,” a statement issued by SriLankan Airlines said.

“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,” it added.

If this is purely because of oprational issue Russia will not have a grudge about us. But God bless Sri Lanka if they did it as a Western influence.

Useless white elephant Tuesday, 29 March 2022 07:17 AM

Every Sri Lankan is paying million of rupees to keep this white elephant afloat. Sri Lankan under state control will always be a liability. Either sell it or completely close it down. Srilankans we are not Singapore. Wake up!
