British Airways Returns to Colombo

British Airways has resumed direct flights between London Gatwick and Colombo after a 10-year absence, operating three weekly services. The inaugural flight was marked by a traditional welcome ceremony at Bandaranaike International Airport featuring Kandyan dancers.

British Airways finally returns to Colombo after a decade, and we're treating it like the Beatles reunion—Kandyan dancers, the works. Mate, they're just flying a plane here, not discovering electricity. Next thing you know we'll have ceremonial oil lamps lit for the Ryanair budget route.
