TUI has extended its suspension of all flights and holidays to Sri Lanka until September 11 at the earliest.
This is despite the UK Foreign Office lifting its advice against all but essential travel to the country. The government department update came just 24 hours before the UK's biggest travel operator confirming it was axing all holidays to Sri Lanka for another few weeks.
In a bulletin, TUI said: "Due to the ongoing political and economic instability in Sri Lanka, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) have advised against all but essential travel. As a result, we’ve unfortunately had to cancel all holidays to Sri Lanka departing up to and including September 11, 2022.
