Russia’s Aeroflot resumes flights to Sri Lanka with A330 jet

Aeroflot has resumed passenger flights to Sri Lanka, months after they were suspended following a legal dispute, after a Colombo court lifted a ban on the carrier’s detained Airbus A330 wide-body plane from leaving the country.

The Russian flag carrier resumed its twice-weekly passenger services between Moscow (SVO) and Colombo (CMB) in Sri Lanka on October 9, 2022, according to Ria Novosti, and plans to gradually increase the flight frequency in the future.

The airline will also resume regular flights to Bangkok (BKK) and Goa (GOI) on October 30, 2022.
