Launching Air Astana operations to Sri Lanka for the winter 2024/2025 season, the first Air Astana flight arrived at BIA on Monday evening.
The flight was welcomed with a celebratory water cannon salute organized by AASL upon arrival at BIA.
This was followed by a traditional Kandyan dance performance organized by the Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau.
Air Astana is now offering four weekly flights between Kazakhstan and Colombo and this will boost Russian arrivals further.
