This could be the outcome of recent meetings between top leadership of Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

No official announcement from PIA so far.

this will fail and shall not last more than 4 months...mkt size from LHE/ISB to CMB is way too small and cannot be sustained on A310s especially since these flights do not connect both ways to Europe.
