Sigiriya by flight is a 30 minutes journey From Colombo airport
Cinnamon Air operates daily flights from their domestic terminal in Katunayake to the Air Force airstrip in Sigiriya. At USD 223, it’s the most expensive way to get there but the experience you get up in the sky is unlike any other.
If the weather’s good to you, the experience up in the air is magical. The flight to Sigiriya lasts a mere 30 minutes (as opposed to at least 3-4 hours on the road) and offers great panoramic views at a cruising altitude close to 5000 feet
