Both places have their very own unique charm and we are pleased to offer our guests more destination choices for their travel and holiday getaways.”

With greater connectivity, more of our guests would be able to experience the crystalline blue waters of Male and experience the natural beauty of lush greens in Colombo and its surrounding regions. We are confident that these two new routes will stimulate new travel demand and boost tourism and business potential for us and the two countries.” concluded Azran.
