Austrian Airlines now fly to Sri Lanka.

The Vienna Colombo route is currently tagged as costing 684 euros return.

“In addition to the Maldives and Mauritius, Sri Lanka is yet another destination in the Indian Ocean“, explains Andreas Otto, Chief Commercial Officer of Austrian Airlines. ”In this way we are increasingly focusing on long-haul tourist destinations which are particularly in demand during the winter months.”

Also known as the Spice Island, Sri Lanka is mainly of interest to tourists who want to enjoy the local culture, relax on the beaches or get to know the country and its people within the context of an active or adventure holiday.
