Turkish Airlines announced plans to ramp up its flight frequency from Istanbul to Colombo from four to five flights a week beginning 1 April and six flights per week commencing 14 May.

The additional service will offer passengers more flexibility in travel options, serving rising market demand and enhancing connectivity to and from Colombo via Istanbul. The expansion will enhance tourism, trade, and cultural exchanges between the two countries.

In a statement, Turkish Airlines revealed the expansion of its services, noting that from 26 October, the flight frequency will escalate to seven flights per week — right on time to cater to the winter tourism season.
