British Airways expands winter routes
British Airways has launched an expanded winter schedule from Colombo, Bloomberg reports, with new flights connecting the city to key European hubs.
The airline's updated route plan includes additional seasonal services that will boost tourism and business travel to Sri Lanka, per breakingtravelnews.com.
Sri Lanka’s fuel import bill rose 51.5% in the first nine months of 2026, as reported by The Peninsula Qatar, reflecting growing energy costs affecting the region.
Meanwhile, a folk artist from Türkiye will represent the country at the ABU Music Festival in Colombo, according to Turkiye Today.
