SriLankan Airlines has solidified its role as the single largest tourism promoter in Sri Lanka, according to Richard Nuttall, CEO of the national carrier, speaking at the World Aviation Festival in Singapore.
Following three years of operational profitability and a strategic focus on expanding its fleet and services, the airline is pivotal to the nation’s surging tourism sector. SriLankan however is not growing its capacity in line with industry trends. In January 2025, Sri Lanka recorded a near-record high of 250,000 tourist arrivals, its highest ever for the month, indicating a significant uptick in the country’s tourism industry.
