SriLankan Airlines has suspended its services between Sri Lanka and Kuwait from 6 March to 12 March.

The move is following a decision by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation of Kuwait to temporarily suspend incoming flights from Bangladesh, Philippines, India, Sri Lanka, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt for one week.

SriLankan intends to re-commence its full schedule of frequencies to Kuwait on 13 March, when the one week period is completed.

SriLankan said it regrets any inconvenience to its valued passengers and wishes to stress that the matter is due to factors that are beyond the control of the airline. The directive was dated 6 March 2020 and was based on a decision from health authorities in Kuwait.
