National carrier, SriLankan Airlines yesterday announced to its customers the changes in flight schedules due to the scheduled maintenance work on the runway of the country’s main international airport at Katunayake.
The changes to its schedule will be made over a three-month period commencing from 06th January 2017 to 06th April 2017, due to the closure of Colombo’s Bandaranaike International Airport for eight hours a day from 0830 hours to 1630 hours each day for maintenance work on the runway.
The following flights have been cancelled. However, SriLankan will continue to serve each of these destinations through its flights at other times of the day:

Passengers who have already booked tickets on any of the above flights should contact their travel agent or the nearest SriLankan Airlines ticket office for details on revised times and/or alternative routings.
In a statement SriLankan Airlines said it regrets any inconvenience to its passengers caused due to these arrangements that have been made under unavoidable circumstances. “The closure of BIA affects flights of all airlines that operate to BIA during the scheduled time of maintenance work. The airline is not the operator of the airport and has no control over the scheduled maintenance works,” the national carrier added.
