Internal flights in Sri Lanka
Hop aboard an air taxi, seaplane or helicopter and get to your holiday destination in Sri Lanka within a matter of minutes. Avoid lengthy journeys by road, which can sometimes be subject to unforeseen delays due to traffic or construction work, and spend more time enjoying each location. Taking internal flights in Sri Lanka is by far the easiest way to get around, especially if you are doing a full tour of the island and wish to avoid long and tiring drives.
