✈️ Jetstar Launches Direct Low-Cost Flights to Sri Lanka — A New Gateway for Australian Travelers

From just AUD 315 | Flying from Melbourne to Colombo | Starting August 2026

A major milestone is on the horizon for Sri Lanka tourism — and we at Camlo Lanka Tours are excited to share it with you!

Jetstar has announced the launch of Australia’s only low-cost, non-stop flights from Melbourne to Colombo, opening a brand-new opportunity for Australians to explore the beauty, culture, and warmth of Sri Lanka with greater ease and affordability.

Beginning 25 August 2026, Jetstar will operate three weekly direct flights, offering one-way fares starting at an incredible AUD 315. This marks a transformative moment for travelers, the Sri Lankan diaspora, and the overall tourism industry.

🌏 Why This New Route from Jetstar Matters

1. Direct Flights, Less Hassle

For years, travelling between Australia and Sri Lanka required one or more layovers. Jetstar’s direct service finally simplifies this journey — saving time, reducing costs, and offering a smooth travel experience.

2. Affordable Travel for Everyone

With fares from just AUD 315, Sri Lanka becomes an even more accessible holiday destination for families, backpackers, explorers and beach lovers. It’s also wonderful news for Sri Lankan expatriates wanting an easier and more budget-friendly way to visit home.

3. Comfortable Long-Haul Travel

Jetstar plans to operate upgraded Boeing 787 Dreamliners on this route, offering better seating, improved cabin comfort, and Wi-Fi options — making the journey enjoyable for all types of travelers.
