Cathay Pacific is set to increase its flight frequency from Colombo, raising services from three to five flights per week from March 2025, according to Civil Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka Deputy Director General Rayhan Wanniappa.
“Cathay Pacific will be increasing frequencies to five flights per week from March 2025. They are also considering further expansions in the number of weekly flights, which may take effect later this year or by next year,” Wanniappa told The Daily Morning Business on 28 January.
The Hong Kong-based flag carrier connects Colombo with key destinations including Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul, Australia, the USA, and Canada.
Cathay Pacific resumed scheduled passenger flights to Colombo in 2024 after suspending operations in 2020 due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. The airline has identified leisure tourists, business professionals, and students in Sri Lanka as a key part of its passenger base.
