The airline interline enables through travel on a single ticket and one-time baggage transfers.
Tickets are now on sale for through travel effective immediately.
The interline partnership opens 15 regional destinations operated by SriLankan Airlines via Colombo, for Emirates’ passengers.
The interline network also includes two new Indian destinations, Madurai and Tiruchirapally, in addition to Gan Island in the Maldives.
SriLankan passengers also benefit from connections via Dubai across the Middle East, Africa, Russia and the US.
These include Bahrain, Dammam, Cairo, Muscat, Moscow, Tel Aviv, and multiple US cities.
