Korean Airlines and SriLankan Airlines have announced the launch of its codeshare partnership, effective March 15, 2024.
The codeshare deal will present enhanced travel options and connections for customers of both airlines traveling between Colombo’s Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB), Sri Lanka, and Incheon International Airport (ICN) in Seoul.
Under the partnership, SriLankan Airlines will codeshare on flights operated between Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) and Incheon Airport by Korean Air, making it possible for passengers to travel on a single SriLankan Airlines’ ticket between Colombo Airport and Incheon Airport via Singapore.
At the same time, Korean Air will codeshare on flights operated by SriLankan Airlines between Colombo Airport and the following cities: ICN Airport, SIN Airport, Chennai International Airport (MAA), and Male Velana International Airport (MLE) in the Maldives.
“We are delighted to launch our first-ever codeshare partnership with Korean Air, and boost the connectivity between Colombo and Seoul,” Richard Nuttall, Chief Executive Officer of SriLankan Airlines, said in a statement.
“The passenger traffic between the two cities continues to exceed our expectations, and the partnership will only help us grow our presence in this route in a manner that is fast and economical for the airline, and give more reasons for customers to choose SriLankan Airlines,” Nuttall added.
