Sri Lankan to join oneworld
SriLankan Airlines is to join the oneworld airline alliance late next year.
Cathay Pacific will support the airline through its alliance implementation programme.
SriLankan already code-shares with oneworld member designate Malaysia Airlines – and has agreed in principle to code-share also with oneworld partners Royal Jordanian and S7 Airlines.
SriLankan Airlines has virtually doubled in size since peace returned to its home country three years ago and plans further substantial expansion to its fleet and network in the next few years.
It operates a fleet of 21 aircraft and carried 3.5 million passengers last year between its Colombo base and 34 destinations in 22 countries.
SriLankan Airlines chairman Nishantha Wickremasinghe said, "Joining the alliance will help put SriLankan more firmly on the global aviation map and vastly improve Sri Lanka’s connections with the rest of the world, with all that means for our country’s vital tourism industry.”
