Emirates will operate an additional scheduled service between Colombo and Dubai, starting from January 2.
The newly-introduced flight, to operate as EK654/655, increases the seat capacity on the route by 30 per cent and supports Sri Lanka’s plans to considerably increase tourist arrivals in 2025.
The additional service will operate six times a week until March 31, 2025, with EK654 departing Dubai International Airport (DXB) every day except Wednesdays.
