Etihad offers flights to Colombo through it’s partner, SriLankan
Colombo: Etihad Airways will discontinue its services to
Colombo from 9 September.
The Abu Dhabi-based airline will instead offer flights to Colombo
through it’s interline partner, Sri Lankan Airlines.
Etihad Airways’ executive vice president sales and services, Geert W.
Boven, said: “Etihad continually monitors the commercial performance of
its global flight network and has taken this decision following
extensive market analysis.”
“Whilst it is always disappointing to exit a market, the decision
means that we will be able to redeploy the A330-200 aircraft to new
destinations on our expanding flight network.”
In order to minimise disruption, Etihad will honour its commitment to
ticketed passengers after 9 September. Etihad Holidays will continue to
market Sri Lanka in conjunction with its partners.
Etihad Airways is the national airline of the United Arab Emirates
based in the UAE’s capital, Abu Dhabi. |
