Earlier this month, TUI announced it had cancelled more flights to Sri Lanka amid ongoing political unrest in the country.
The country is on the brink of bankruptcy with shortages of fuel, food and medicine. The economic problems have sparked widespread protests across Sri Lanka and a state of emergency has been declared, alongside an island-wide curfew.
Incidents have also taken place in the Fort area, Beira Lake in Colombo, Kandy, and in other parts of the country, some resulting in injuries and loss of life.

The Foreign Office warned people from the UK not to travel to the country unless it was absolutely essential. However, this guidance has now changed.
As of June 10, the Government no longer advises against all but essential travel to Sri Lanka.
Earlier this month, TUI said that it would be cancelling "all holidays to Sri Lanka departing up to and including 30 June 2022" and would pro-actively contact any customers whose holidays are affected, in departure date order.
However, the firm did caveat that this doesn't apply to those stopping over in Sri Lanka with flights, adding: "Please note this advice does not apply to customers transiting through Sri Lanka’s international airport and customers currently in resort can continue to enjoy their holiday as planned."
The company said it will continue to monitor the situation, and has today confirmed all flights to Sri Lanka remain cancelled until June 30.
