Emirates-Sri Lankan code share deal ends

SRI LANKA-With the 10-year management contract between Emirates and SriLankan Airlines coming to an end, Emirates will be terminating the code share arrangements between the two carriers. Code share arrangements between the two carriers will cease from March 31, with the expiry of the decade-long management agreement.

However, Emirates airlines will continue to serve Sri Lanka with 17 weekly flights to Colombo, connecting the country's travelers to 100 global destinations via Dubai. And the flights will be operated using Emirates' aircraft, a spokesman for the Dubai-based carrier said yesterday on the sidelines of a promotion with Axiom Telecom.(MENAFN - Arab News)
