  • Any passenger with a travel history to India (including transit) in the past 14 days will not be permitted to arrive.
  • All arriving passengers will be subject to a 14 day quarantine period as per instructions of the Health Authorities.

Flight Suspension From India

In a view to controlling the Covid-I9 situation in the country, the Civil Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka on 21st May suspends all inbound international flights for 10 days.

It must be noted that due to a huge surge in Covid-19 cases in India, Sri Lanka has suspended all flights to/from India on 06th May 2021.

Also, the latest media release doesn’t say anything about the resumption of international flights from India, so it is very much clear that Sri Lanka will further extend the suspension of flights from India.
