TUI has cancelled more flights and holidays to Sri Lanka after the country declared a nationwide state of emergency.
On Tuesday, the president of Sri Lanka fled the country, slipping away in the middle of the night hours before he promised to step down under pressure from protesters angry over a devastating economic crisis that has triggered severe shortages of food and fuel.
The UK's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) advises against all but essential travel to Sri Lanka, forcing TUI to cancel more fights and holidays. TUI had originally cancelled Sri Lanka holidays until July 18 , but now the travel firm has confirmed it is extending this policy through to July 31.
