SriLankan Airlines

SriLankan Airlines is the flag carrier of Sri Lanka and the primary airline connecting the island nation — one of Asia's oldest civilizations and a rapidly growing tourism destination — with the world. Operating from Bandaranaike International Airport in Colombo, SriLankan Airlines serves destinations across the Middle East, Europe, South and Southeast Asia, and Australia from its strategic location in the Indian Ocean. As a oneworld alliance member, SriLankan provides Sri Lankan passengers with global connectivity through British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines, and other prestigious partners.

The airline operates Airbus A320 family jets for regional routes and Airbus A330 widebodies for longer-haul services. SriLankan Airlines has been central to Sri Lanka's efforts to rebuild its tourism industry — which was devastated by the 2019 Easter Sunday terrorist attacks and the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by Sri Lanka's severe economic crisis of 2022 which caused a complete foreign exchange shortage. The airline, majority-owned by the Sri Lankan government, has faced severe financial headwinds from the country's economic difficulties.
