SriLankan Airlines asks tourists to confirm hotel reservations

Our Bureau

Hyderabad , Jan. 4

SRILANKAN Airlines Ltd has asked all tourists to Sri Lanka to ensure that they have confirmed their hotel reservations and check whether transport is available to reach their destination.

In a press release here on Tuesday, the airline asserted that there was no disruption to airport services or flights arriving in and out of Colombo.

"No flights have been cancelled or rescheduled. The Bandaranaike International Airport is open and operating normally and was not affected by the disaster," it said.

The release also clarified that all connecting `point service' hotels had resumed services and were open to accommodate transit passengers.

For passengers in Sri Lanka who wish to reschedule their journey, every effort will be made to provide seats on alternative SriLankan flights.

"SriLankan passengers who have lost their tickets can be carried without tickets, provided they hold a confirmed reservation, and on signing a form of indemnity," it said.

Those who have lost their passports should approach their national embassies or consulates in Sri Lanka to obtain emergency travel documents.
