PCR TESTING FACILITY AT BANDARANAIKE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IS NOW OPEN
We are pleased to announce the establishment of a PCR testing laboratory on airport grounds to perform PCR tests and issue reports in three hours for foreign tourists who require a PCR test on arrival to Sri Lanka. Travellers who require this test can exit the airport and take a short drive to the testing facility which is a mere 5 minutes away. The test will be conducted for a fee of US$40 per person. The results are set to be released in three hours.
The laboratory, which operates under the supervision and regulation of the Health Ministry, is outfitted with technology that meets international standards, and it is anticipated that it will put an end to the mandatory hotel quarantine process.

SRI LANKA LISTED AS ONE OF THE BEST COUNTRIES TO TRAVEL IN 2021 AS VOTED BY CONDÉ NAST TRAVELLER’S READERS.
Cape Weligama, Ceylon Tea Trails &
Wild Coast Tented Lodge Voted as
Top 25 Resorts in Asia: Readers'
Choice Awards 2021
Conde Nast Traveler recently released its annual Readers Choice Awards, which rank the best cities, countries, islands, resorts, and hotels (Cape Weligama, Ceylon Tea Trails, and Wild Coast Tented Lodge were named among the Top 25 Resorts in Asia!). The awards are based on an annual reader survey in which over 800,000 readers participated. Readers have revealed that, with restrictions easing and the industry opening up, the majority of travellers are yearning for travel now more than ever. Seeking out remote regions and encouraging slow travel. For the past couple of years when travel was more of a privilege than a right, we’re hopeful this inspires the future traveller to travel to Sri Lanka and experience the best of what the island has to offer.
ONLINE HEALTH DECLARATION
AT BANDARANAIKE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
In response to the current changes in passenger travel dynamics, Airport and Aviation Services Limited (AASL) has taken the initiative to implement an Online COVID-19 Health Declaration System at the Bandaranaike International Airport. The primary goal of implementing this system is to minimize the use of physical form filling and start encouraging passengers to use an online platform, thereby limiting physical contact and passenger process time. Furthermore, because the Health Authorities will be able to receive passenger information ahead of time, they can monitor the passengers' health records while lowering waiting times.
The system can be accessed via the following link on AASL website www.airport.lk. https://www.airport.lk/health_declaration/health_declaration
01. Passengers must complete and submit the web application form by attaching the documents related to the health declaration - Vaccination card on the first and second doses. - A PCR test report must be completed within 72 hours of embarkation.
02. After submitting the online form, passengers will receive an email with a QR code.
03. Passengers' information will be given to airport health officers before they arrive, and the information provided by the passengers will be reviewed.
04. Passengers who have completed their health declaration forms online should scan the QR code at the health declaration counter upon arrival. With the implementation of this pilot project at BIA, AASL expects to provide a convenient travel experience for its valued passengers, and after two weeks of testing, this service will be made widely available to benefit passengers arriving in Sri Lanka.
With many flights resuming services to Sri Lanka, we are witnessing a surge in tourist arrivals since its relaxed travel restrictions for fully-vaccinated tourists last month. As our island offers unique experiences round-year with favourable weather conditions and plenty of sunshine, the pearl of the Indian Ocean beacons as an ongoing hot pick for those with itchy feet and wanderlust.
Sri Lanka is to welcome new air connectivity as follows;
Air France instating thrice-weekly flights via male to Colombo.
LOT Polish Airlines together with Rainbow (one of the top three Polish tour operators expected to promote Sri Lanka as a premier destination for Polish and other European visitors in Asia) to resume twice-weekly direct flights to Sri Lanka from 7 December until the end of the winter season.
Eidelweiss flights operate weekly from Zurich to Colombo directly.
Singapore Airlines resume daily flights from Singapore to Colombo.
Emirates, Qatar & Ethihad has increased the frequency of flight schedules to Colombo.
Sri Lankan Airlines (UL) commenced direct flights from Sydney to Colombo thrice-weekly.
