Sri Lankan airlines will be running a direct flight service between Hong Kong and Colombo starting July 15th 2017.
The national carrier of Sri Lanka will have five direct flights to Hong Kong a week.
The airline’s management officials were summoned by the Sri Lankan cabinet last month to discuss a Rs 22 billion loss.
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
