Three airlines have cancelled or changed flights to Sri Lanka after Tamil Tiger rebels carried out an air raid on the capital, Colombo.

Hong Kong airline Cathay Pacific and Dubai-based Emirates have suspended flights, while Singapore Airlines will only fly into Colombo during the day.

Two fuel facilities and a gas storage depot were bombed in Sunday's attacks.

The international airline, Emirates, has said that it will resume day-time services to Sri Lanka following rebel air raids near the island's airport.

An Emirates spokesman said that a review of services to the country's only international airport had concluded that a resumption was safe.

The spokesman said that Emirates flights would recommence on Friday.
