Air Astana resumes flights to Colombo for winter season

Daily FT: Air Astana, the flag carrier of Kazakhstan officially resumed its operations to Sri Lanka for the winter 2024/2025 season, with the inaugural flight landing at Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) on Monday (16) night.
The flight was welcomed with a ceremonial water cannon salute organised by the Airport and Aviation Services (Sri Lanka) Ltd., followed by a vibrant traditional Kandyan dance performance arranged by the Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau (SLTPB).
Air Astana will operate four weekly flights between Kazakhstan and Sri Lanka boosting connectivity between the two countries and providing new opportunities for tourism, trade and cultural exchange.
The winter season flights are expected to boost arrivals and pave the way for Sri Lanka Tourism to achieve a record-breaking 2024.

OSL take:
The steady increase in the number of flights operated by many international airlines to Sri Lanka are indicative of the increasing number of foreign travelers arriving in the country. The increase in the number of flights operating to Sri Lanka indicates an expansion in several key economic sectors like tourism as well as airport and aviation. On the other hand, the expansion in the tourism as well as airport and aviation sectors indicate an increase in the business/investment opportunities in these sectors to meet the steadily growing demand. The Sri Lankan government has also identified many development programmes in these sectors presenting more opportunities. These opportunities include the development of infrastructure and supplementary infrastructure facilities in the tourism as well as airport and aviation sectors as well as related sectors. Given that Sri Lanka is undergoing an overall expansion in its economy as well as the target of becoming a regional hub, the business/investment opportunities in the tourism as well as airport and aviation sectors would witness a steady growth in the coming months. The growing business potential in these sectors is further evident by the interest shown by many key foreign businesses/investors to explore and express interest in doing business in Sri Lanka. Other foreign businesses/investors could also confidently explore the expanding opportunities in Sri Lanka, especially in the tourism as well as airport and aviation sectors.
