The mother-in-law of Namal Rajapaksa, his two kids, two servants, and one more female relative departed for Dubai this morning via the Katunayake Airport “Silk Route” terminal.
Several departments within the airport verified the group’s departure aboard Emirates flight EK-651, which departed for Dubai at 10:05 a.m. today.
The family made use of the Silk Route terminal, a premium offering with faster processing for $52 per passenger.
There are no direct flights from Sri Lanka to the US, thus the gang intends to continue their journey to the US, according to sources at Katunayake Airport. It’s anticipated that they will leave Dubai soon.
