After stopping flights to Sri Lanka ten years ago, Maldives flag carrier Maldivian have decided to restart flights to the nation.

In a press release by Island Aviation, the company that manages Maldives' national airline, they said Maldivian Airlines will conduct flights from Male' to Colombo International Airport (Ratmalana). It is the closest Sri Lankan airport to Maldives.

When Ratmalana opened up to South Asian countries last year, Maldivian Airlines started discussions on whether they would start that route again.

Island Aviation said they decided to commence operations to Sri Lanka as there is a large number of Maldivians in the nations. Maldivians flights will make trips to Sri Lanka easy for Maldivians, they said.

Currently only four flights are scheduled to Sri Lanka; flights on March 27, 29, and 31, in addition April 3. However they plan to increase the number of flights to the nation depending on demand.

Tickets to Sri Lanka can be booked via Maldivian's website and mobile application as well.
