As per the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority, India accounted for more than 16% of the total international tourists in the previous year, placing it at number one position in tourist flow to the island nation.
Air India on Monday introduced its second flight to Sri Lanka with the launch of a non-stop service from here to Colombo. Air India currently operates to Colombo from Chennai.
The 182-seater inaugural Airbus A321 flight from Delhi, which took off from Terminal-3 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport here at 1200 hours was given a ceremonial water salute after it landed at Colombo's Bandaranaike Airport at 1535 hours, Air India said in a release.
The flight will herald a new era in Aviation and tourism between the two neighbouring countries, the government owned Airline said, adding the new non-stop Air Service would also provide a link to an important gateway from the Indian sub-continent.
With the launch of the second flight to Colombo, the Airline aims to cater to passengers from across segments including
pilgrims and visiting friends and relations (VFR), Indian Diasporas, business fraternity, MICE segment (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions), student and medical and wellness travellers among others.
The flight number- AI 275 from Delhi will leave at 1200 hours and reach Colombo at 1535 hours except on Wednesdays when the flight will leave Delhi at 1330 hours and reach Colombo at 1715 hours, the Air India said.

According to a recent industry report, India's Aviation Market picked up pace in the previous fiscal with domestic traffic
surging by 13.9 per cent year-on-year and international traffic clocking a 9.0 per cent growth during the period.
"Delhi being the hub for Air India, it will provide passengers from Sri Lanka, connections to flights of Air India and
other Star Alliance member Airlines to Europe, USA, Far East and Australia.
"Likewise, passengers arriving from these International Destinations will get a convenient connection to Sri Lanka on this
new flight," Air India said.
In addition, the new flight to Delhi will also provide immediate connections to many Domestic Destinations in India where
Air India has introduced competitive fares, it said.
Besides, the new direct connection would give a fillip to the tourism industry of the two countries.
As per the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority, India accounted for more than 16% of the total international tourists
in the previous year, placing it at number one position in tourist flow to the island nation.
Sri Lanka was ranked as the fourth largest generator of tourists to India, the release said.
