After 10 years of operations in Sri Lanka, with a leg stopping over in Male, Turkish Airlines will launch direct flights from Istanbul, Turkey to Colombo in October 2023.

This will enable Sri Lankans to quickly connect with 129 countries in the world with shorter flight and connection times in Istanbul Airport, especially to certain North European countries where only Turkish Airlines is operating to connect Sri Lanka.

With continuous support from Sri Lankan authorities, Turkish Airlines is happy to promote Sri Lanka, and the airline is also witnessing growth in European tourist reservations for November–December 2023, induced by its direct flights.
