Dubai: Emirates will operate an additional scheduled service between Colombo and Dubai, starting from 2 January 2025. The newly-introduced flight will increase the seat capacity on the route by 30 percent and supports Sri Lanka’s plans to considerably increase tourist arrivals in 2025. The additional service will operate six times a week until 31 March 2025.

The additional flight can accommodate up to 360 passengers, with 8 suites in First Class, 42 Business Class and 310 Economy Class seats, offering a premium customer experience while enhancing convenience and choice with an expanded flight schedule.
