The activation of an interline partnership with SriLankan and the provision of more choice and access to additional destinations for customers were expressed with pleasure by Emirates’ Chief Commercial Officer, Adnan Kazim. He also conveyed the anticipation of further developing cooperation in the near future and enhancing benefits for customers traveling with Emirates and SriLankan on one ticket.
SriLankan Airlines’ Chief Executive Officer, Richard Nuttall, announced the renewed interline collaboration with Emirates and expressed commitment to providing connectivity to Sri Lanka from around the world. He noted that the partnership with Emirates, a truly global airline with a long history in Sri Lanka, would provide more options to connect to and from Sri Lanka, benefiting both Sri Lankan passengers at home and abroad, and supporting tourism growth to the Pearl of the Indian Ocean.
Emirates launched its services to Sri Lanka in 1986 and has since carried more than 11 million passengers to and from Colombo, making Sri Lanka an important part of the Emirates network spanning almost 140 destinations. The airline currently operates two daily direct flights to Colombo, utilizing the Boeing 777-300ER, and an additional daily service via Malé, giving customers the flexibility to choose flights and enjoy the convenience of minimal connection times. Emirates is the only international carrier to serve the country with first-class services, offering passengers world-class products and superior comfort in the air and on the ground.
