Russia’s largest charter airline Air Azur will resume service to Colombo today, providing much-needed optimism to the tourism industry to draw Eastern European travellers this winter season.

The airline will initially resume flights twice weekly to Moscow. It is also expected to operate a service once every 10 days covering cities St. Petersburg, Krasnoyarsk, and Novosibirsk.

According to Sri Lankan Ambassador to Russia Prof. Janitha Liyanage, the return of Air Azur will be a remarkable boost for the tourism sector stakeholders, who are anticipating a major comeback following three continuous fallouts of Easter Attacks, the COVID pandemic and the economic crisis.

Azur Airline flew twice a week to Colombo from early December 2021 and it helped Sri Lanka Tourism to draw a large number of Eastern European travellers.
