Earlier this month, TUI announced it had cancelled more flights to Sri Lanka amid ongoing political unrest in the country.
The country is on the brink of bankruptcy with shortages of fuel, food and medicine. The economic problems have sparked widespread protests across Sri Lanka and a state of emergency has been declared, alongside an island-wide curfew.
Incidents have also taken place in the Fort area, Beira Lake in Colombo, Kandy, and in other parts of the country, some resulting in injuries and loss of life.
