Vietjet is giving Sri Lankan travellers another opportunity to plan their next getaway with a three-day 9.9 promotion, offering Eco tickets from just USD 90 one-way, inclusive of taxes and fees, along with 22% off Deluxe base fares on the airline’s newly launched Colombo–Ho Chi Minh City route.
The promotion is available from 22:30 on 7 September until 21:30 on 10 September 2026, Sri Lanka time. Promotional Eco fares are offered across Vietjet’s domestic and international routes within Vietnam, while the 22% Deluxe discount applies to international flights booked using the promo code SALE99. Tickets can be booked through Vietjet’s website and mobile app for travel from 10 September 2026 to 31 March 2027, subject to blackout dates.
Following the launch of its direct Colombo–Ho Chi Minh City service on 18 August 2026, Vietjet is providing Sri Lankan travellers with convenient access to Vietnam and onward connections across Asia, Australia and, soon, Europe through its Ho Chi Minh City hub. In October, the airline is scheduled to introduce new Hanoi services to Almaty and Prague, marking its entry into the European Union market. Further routes connecting Vietnam with Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Australia are also planned for later this year and early 2027.
The airline says the onboard experience is designed to make the journey part of the travel experience, with a modern, fuel-efficient fleet, professional cabin crew and freshly prepared hot meals. Passengers can enjoy Vietnamese favourites including pho, banh mi and Vietnamese iced milk coffee, alongside international cuisine, while cultural and entertainment programmes offer a taste of Vietnam during the flight.
Dialog Teams Up with Ria Money Transfer to Make International Remittances Easier for Sri Lankans
Dialog Axiata PLC, Sri Lanka’s leading connectivity provider and operator of the country’s first and largest mobile money service, eZ Cash, has entered into a partnership with Ria Money Transfer, a global provider of cross-border money transfer services and a business segment of Euronet Worldwide, Inc., to enable overseas remittances to be sent directly to eZ Cash wallets in Sri Lanka.
Under the new partnership, Sri Lankans living and working overseas can use Ria’s extensive network, which spans approximately 638,000 locations across 199 countries and territories, along with digital connections to billions of bank and digital wallet accounts, to send money directly to Dialog or Airtel mobile numbers linked to eZ Cash wallets.
Recipients in Sri Lanka can withdraw the funds through more than 55,000 eZ Cash retail outlets or at Commercial Bank ATMs. Transactions can be completed using the recipient’s Dialog or Airtel mobile number and a secure PIN, eliminating the need for traditional banking visits and allowing users to access their remittances conveniently through their mobile phones.
The partnership is designed to provide Sri Lankans with a convenient and secure way to receive international remittances from family members and others living abroad. It also supports the companies’ broader efforts to promote financial inclusion and expand access to digital financial services for people regardless of their location or access to traditional banking facilities.
Renuka Fernando, Group Chief Digital Services Officer at Dialog Axiata PLC, said remittances play an important role in Sri Lanka’s economy and that the partnership with Ria provides a reliable channel for funds to reach households and communities.
He added that eZ Cash continues to contribute to financial empowerment while supporting the country’s broader economic resilience.
