"Sri Lanka has proven to be a welcomed addition to the ever expanding Oman Air network. We have reasons to believe that our customers are thrilled with this destination, as Sri Lanka has everything a tourist wants to explore experience and see", said Peter Hill, Oman Air's Chief Executive Officer.

Sri Lanka is a place that can be visited the whole year round and is rated as one of the top tourist destination of the world, the Chief Executive Officer further said.

Oman Air, the national carrier of the Sultanate of Oman, will be commemorating its flights to the Sri Lankan capital of Colombo on February 26th. The flights to Sri Lanka were launched in November last year with four weekly frequencies between Muscat, capital of the Sultanate of Oman and Colombo.

Eng Sultan Hamdoon Al Harthi, the President of the Muscat Municipality, will be the Chief Guest for the launch of celebrations that will have a high-level delegation from Oman Air, led by Oman Air's Chief Executive Officer Peter Hill, along with other Senior Management team who will be in Colombo for this purpose.
