Ahmedabad, Mar 11th: City of Dreams Sri Lanka, in collaboration with Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts and Walkers Tours, have partnered with FitsAir, on their direct scheduled passenger flights connecting Ahmedabad and Colombo, enhancing connectivity for Indian travellers to South Asia’s first fully integrated resort. FitsAir, Sri Lanka’s first private international airline, will operate the service, providing travellers with convenient connectivity and a comfortable travel experience between Ahmedabad and Colombo.
The new Ahmedabad Colombo service, operated by FitsAir will run three times a week, catering to travellers from Gujarat, one of Sri Lanka’s key and fast-growing source markets from India. With strong cultural ties and rising outbound travel from the region, Gujarat continues to show growing interest in Sri Lanka as a preferred leisure destination. The state’s well-established travel trade network and strong appetite for international leisure experiences make it an important market for tourism to Sri Lanka. The enhanced connectivity further strengthens travel between the two regions while positioning Colombo as an attractive luxury getaway for Indian travellers.
Located in the heart of Colombo, City of Dreams Sri Lanka is part of a broader vision to position the city as a vibrant hub for entertainment, leisure and lifestyle in the region encouraging travellers to experience Colombo as a destination. Guests can stay at Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams or explore other Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts in Colombo, including Cinnamon Grand, Cinnamon Lakeside and Cinnamon Red, offering a range of luxury, upscale and contemporary stays while discovering the city.
The launch of the direct Ahmedabad–Colombo flights also introduces curated Cinnamon holiday packages designed specifically for Indian travellers, combining the City of Dreams Sri Lanka experience with multi-destination itineraries across the island, including cultural experiences in Kandy and beach stays at Cinnamon resorts. These offerings aim to deliver a seamless travel experience while showcasing Sri Lanka’s diverse leisure offerings.
Kamal Munasinghe, Senior Vice President, Colombo Hotels, Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts and General Manager, Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams, said, “India continues to be one of our most important markets, and Gujarat in particular has shown strong interest in Colombo as a leisure destination. These dedicated flights provide a seamless gateway for travellers to experience the vibrant energy, entertainment, and hospitality that define City of Dreams Sri Lanka, while exploring curated Cinnamon holiday experiences across the island.”
“Ahmedabad is one of India’s most vibrant commercial centres, and a city we’ve long wanted to bring into our network. Our overnight departure from Colombo arrives early in the morning, giving travellers a full day ahead. It also opens up smooth onward connections through Colombo across our ever-growing international network” said Ammar Kassim, Director, FitsAir.
