The two Colombo-bound flights of SriLankan Airlines, which were diverted to India on Monday evening due to adverse weather conditions, have now safely landed back on the island.
Both flights, UL365 from Jakarta to Colombo and UL116 from Malé to Colombo, arrived at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) in Katunayake last night.
These diversions to Thiruvananthapuram Airport in India were necessary because of unfavorable weather conditions near the BIA and Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport (MRIA), the SriLankan said.
Flight UL365 touched down at the BIA at approximately 9:38 p.m., while Flight UL116 landed at 10:12 p.m.
