SriLankan Airlines Adjusts European Flight Paths Amidst Israel-Iran Tensions

The Voice of Chandigarh : SriLankan Airlines advises that it is currently modifying its flight paths for European destinations as a precautionary measure amidst the current tensions between Israel and Iran. These changes mean that flight times to Europe are extended, requiring additional fuel and reducing the available payload. Further, to meet slot times in London, these flights are being advanced by one hour. As a result, unfortunately, some passengers on the London flights have missed connections or been offloaded.

The airline will maintain this routing and the earlier departure time to London for the next few days whilst it monitors the situation. Departure times from London, and to and from other European cities remain unchanged.

The safety of our passengers and crew remains our top priority.

SriLankan Airlines is in direct communication with affected passengers, providing assistance with alternative flight arrangements and hotel accommodation. At the same time, passengers to London are advised to arrive at the airport in good time.

We regret any inconvenience caused due to the current situation, and we thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we prioritize safety above all else.
