British Airways is to launch a three-times-a-week service from London Gatwick to Sri Lanka’s capital city of Colombo on 31st March 2013, operating a B777 with three cabins including Club World with fully flat beds. The flights will operate via Male in the Maldives and passengers will travel through BA’s dedicated check-in area at Gatwick North Terminal.
