SriLankan Airlines, the National Carrier of Sri Lanka and a member of the oneworld alliance, won the prestigious ‘World’s Leading Airline to the Indian Ocean’ title once again at the World Travel Awards, announced last week.


The Airline has been winning the coveted title since 2016 and this year the National Carrier also won the ‘Asia’s Leading Airline to the Indian Ocean’ title at the WTA Asia ceremony.


The Award proves SriLankan’s presence in the South Asian region, strongly supported by its connectivity of 9 Indian cities. The Airline also operates to other popular cities such as Bangladesh’s Dhaka, Nepal’s Kathmandu, and Karachi and Lahore of Pakistan.


This year’s WTA’s World’s Leading Destination, Maldives has been Sri Lanka’s extended home market with its connectivity to Malé and Gan, thus facilitating leisure-seekers from its extensive network of the Middle East, the Europe, the Far East and Australia. SriLankan also became the first Airline to connect Gan of South Maldives with the world, thus becoming the only international airline that operates out of two points in the Maldives. Currently, the Airline operates an exclusive direct service from London to Malé.

The Airline also connects travellers to the much sought-after holiday getaway, the Seychelles via its Colombo hub, offering a wider range of prime leisure destinations in the Indian ocean region.
