Tourist arrivals from Russia have hit an all-time high in 2019, with its flag carrier Aeroflot’s expansion of services to Colombo playing a key part.

As per provisional data, Russian tourists last year amounted to around 86,549 and surpassed the previous highest of 69,718, achieved in 2014. In comparison to 2018, last year figure was a 34% increase.
As per the first 11 months data of 2019, Russian tourist arrivals were 68,990, up by 29.6%. In November, the figure jumped 79.7% to 14,537 and in December it hit a record of 17,559.

“The airline has been doing really well since they resumed operations following the Easter Sunday attacks. There has been a steady growth in the number of Russian tourists coming to Sri Lanka,” Euro Asia Tours Ltd. Managing Director Passenger Sales Agent for Aeroflot-Russian Airlines Sam Wickramasinghe told the Daily FT.

He said the five weekly flights using an Airbus A330 aircraft under the winter schedule effective from October through end March this year has been extremely lucrative.
