Tour operators extend charter programs to Sri Lanka for the summer

Russian tourists in the summer season will be able to continue flying to Sri Lanka on charter flights. Tour operators have decided to extend part of the winter flight programs to the island. This means that the cost of tours will remain at an acceptable level. In summer, tourists will be offered the east region of Sri Lanka, where the high season is at this time.

Sri Lanka in the winter season was in the TOP-3 most popular holiday destinations among Russians. Positive dynamics continues in the spring season.

The new Fun&Sun charter program is planned on Red Wings flights on the Moscow-Hambantota (Mattala airport) - Moscow route. Flights will be operated twice a week (Thursday and Sunday) starting April 30. The program will end on October 31.

As part of the new charter program, Fun&Sun tourists will have access to tours lasting 11 and 12 nights. They will spend them at the resorts located in the east of the island. These are the resorts of Trincomalee and Passikuda.
