The Embassy of Sri Lanka in Moscow is pleased to announce that Aeroflot, the national carrier of the Russian Federation, will resume flight operations to Sri Lanka with effect from the 09th October 2022.
The Embassy of Sri Lanka in Moscow in consultation with the Government of Sri Lanka played a pivotal role by making a diplomatic representation with the Government of the Russian Federation in order to resume Aeroflot's flights on this route.
Given that the Russian Federation could be regarded as an important tourist traffic source to Sri Lanka at this trying time, this Embassy is of the view that this flight resumption will be of vital importance to Sri Lankan tourism industry in the upcoming season.
We cordially invite Russian tourists to choose to visit Sri Lanka while enjoying the convenience of direct flight experience.
