No air taxis to Nuwara Eliya

SriLankan Airlines will not operate their scheduled air taxi flights to Nuwara Eliya until further notice.

Giving priority to passenger safety, the airline will not operate their daily scheduled flights to Nuwara Eliya, since landing and take off are hindered by bad weather conditions and fog.

However special charters may be possible on days when the weather is good.

SriLankan Airlines' domestic air service, the air taxi operates scheduled flights to Polgolla in Kandy, Bentota, Koggala and Dikwella down south, from its base in Peliyagoda Colombo.

The air taxi plans to expand its domestic network to Arugambay in the near future.
