Ahmedabad–Colombo new flights launched to boost travel to City of Dreams Sri Lanka

FitsAir Cinnamon Life, City of Dreams Sri Lanka

City of Dreams Sri Lanka, in partnership with Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts and Walkers Tours, has partnered with FitsAir on the airline’s direct scheduled passenger flights connecting Ahmedabad and Colombo, enhancing connectivity for Indian travellers to South Asia’s first fully integrated resort.

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 enhanced connectivity is expected to strengthen 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 forms part of a broader vision to position the city as a vibrant hub for entertainment, leisure and lifestyle. Guests can stay at Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams or explore other properties from Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts in Colombo, including Cinnamon Grand Colombo, Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo and Cinnamon Red Colombo, offering a mix of luxury, upscale and contemporary stays.

The launch of the direct Ahmedabad–Colombo flights also introduces curated Cinnamon holiday packages designed for Indian travellers. These combine 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, delivering a seamless travel experience while showcasing Sri Lanka’s diverse leisure offerings.

Commenting on the initiative, 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.

Flights between Ahmedabad and Colombo are currently operating three times weekly, with bookings available through specially curated Cinnamon travel packages starting from INR 55,555. The package includes return airfare, two nights’ accommodation with breakfast at Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams and private airport transfers.
