AHMEDABAD TO COLOMBO JUST GOT EASIER
HERE’S HOW CITY OF DREAMS SRI LANKA MAKES THE JOURNEY COMPLETE

Ahmedabad, 24 June 2026 (GNI) : Sri Lanka is now one of the easiest international luxury getaways for travellers from Gujarat. Starting 19 June 2026, FitsAir, Sri Lanka’s first private international airline, will launch direct flights between Ahmedabad and Colombo, offering seamless access to the island nation in just 3 hours and 40 minutes.

Launched in partnership with Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts, City of Dreams Sri Lanka, and Walkers Tours, the new route is set to redefine how travellers from Gujarat experience Sri Lanka for luxury weekends and family holidays to destination weddings, entertainment-led escapes, wellness retreats, and spontaneous international getaways.

Commenting on the launch, Kamal Munasinghe, Senior Vice President – Colombo Hotels, Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts and General Manager, City of Dreams Sri Lanka, said: “Indian travellers are increasingly looking for international destinations that combine accessibility with premium experiences. This new route allows travellers from Gujarat to experience Colombo and City of Dreams Sri Lanka more conveniently than ever before.”

Ammar Kassim, Director, FitsAir, added: “We are delighted to introduce direct connectivity between Ahmedabad and Colombo. The route is designed to offer travellers a seamless and comfortable journey while strengthening tourism and cultural exchange between India and Sri Lanka.”

With reduced travel time, no long layovers, specially curated travel packages, and increasing travel conveniences such as UPI payments, Colombo is becoming one of the most accessible and attractive short-haul international destinations for Indian travellers.

India and Sri Lanka share deep cultural, historical, and religious ties, with growing interest around heritage tourism and the Ramayana trail further strengthening Sri Lanka’s appeal among Indian travellers, especially families from Gujarat. Alongside its cultural connect, Colombo today offers a vibrant mix of luxury hospitality, shopping, nightlife, beaches, cuisine, and entertainment experiences.

At the heart of this transformation is City of Dreams Sri Lanka, South Asia’s first integrated resort destination, designed to offer immersive hospitality, entertainment, dining, nightlife, lifestyle experiences, and large-format celebrations including weddings and social events under one iconic address.

Everything Travellers Need to Know About the New Ahmedabad to Colombo Route

The direct service will operate between Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, Ahmedabad and Bandaranaike International Airport, Colombo, significantly reducing overall travel time and eliminating the inconvenience of multiple connecting flights.

The journey takes approximately 3 hours and 40 minutes, making Colombo one of the quickest and most convenient international holiday destinations from Gujarat.

The schedules are designed to maximise holiday time, allowing travellers to land in Colombo and begin exploring the city almost immediately.

The route will be operated on FitsAir’s Airbus narrow-body aircraft, offering travellers a comfortable international flying experience with efficient boarding, onboard hospitality, and light refreshments during the journey.eom GNI
