"We have a reputation as a global leader in service, comfort, safety, reliability and punctuality; all of which are qualities reflected in selecting the A330," said Kapila Chandrasena, CEO of SriLankan Airlines. "This addition of the A330-300 to our family will enable us to drive our offering to new heights."
SriLankan Airlines and Airbus embarked upon a long-term, strategic partnership in 1993 when the airline began operating the A320 and A340. It has since grown to be an all Airbus operator, and is now an award winning carrier, expanding and diversifying its wide range of products and services to drive the country's ongoing boom in tourism and economic development.
"Combining the highest levels of reliability, superior economics and great passenger appeal, the A330-300 will fit seamlessly into the SriLankan Airlines' fleet," said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer Customers. "We are very proud of our two decades of partnership with SriLankan Airlines and that they have built their success on our aircraft." (PRIU)
