The partnership will enable access to new points on each other's networks via Colombo and Dubai, utilizing a single ticket and enjoying the convenience of baggage transfers, said the local media.
It is reported that the interline partnership gives Emirates passengers access to 15 regional destinations operated by SriLankan Airlines via Colombo, while SriLankan Airlines' passengers can connect to 15 cities operated by Emirates including destinations in the Middle East, Africa, Russia and the United States.
