flydubai, a Dubai-based airline, has celebrated the 15th anniversary of its successful operations in Sri Lanka at a special welcoming ceremony held at Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) on Monday (23).

To commemorate this significant milestone, flight FZ1025 from Dubai received a warm welcome upon its arrival at BIA, marked by a ceremonial water cannon salute. The passengers and crew were greeted with a vibrant Kandyan dance performance organised by Sri Lanka Tourism. A cake-cutting ceremony was also held to commemorate the airline’s long-standing partnership and continued commitment to the Sri Lankan aviation sector.
