DELHI, 18 October 2023: SriLankan Airlines was crowned the Leading International Airline – South Asia at the South Asian Travel Awards (SATA) in Bangalore, India, earlier this week.
The airline also secured the Leading Airline Class – Business Class title at the awards ceremony. Touted as the region’s most prestigious travel industry award, SATA recognises the most outstanding performers in South Asia’s hospitality and travel industry annually based on the votes of industry professionals and passengers.
Having also received the ‘Visitors Choice – Airline of the Year’ citation at last year’s SATA, SriLankan Airlines continues to prove its strong position in South Asia with this year’s dual wins.
The airline currently operates 140 weekly flights between Colombo and multiple South Asian cities across India, the Maldives, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal.
SriLankan Airlines regional manager for India, Bangladesh & Nepal, Ravindran V, commented: “This region has been key to our progress and represents a significant percentage of SriLankan Airlines’ operations. Being recognised inspires us to remain and grow as a trailblazer in South Asia and give our customers the best Sri Lankan service and connectivity as we move forward.”
The airline’s South Asian network covers key destinations across India, including Chennai, Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi; Karachi and Lahore in Pakistan; Kathmandu in Nepal; and Dhaka in Bangladesh.
SriLankan Airlines is the only international carrier to operate to both Male and Gan Island in the Maldives, making it a preferred choice of passengers heading from Europe, the Middle East, India and East Asia to the picturesque Maldives.
