SriLankan Airlines will become a full member of oneworld, offering the alliance’s complete range of services and benefits with effect from Thursday 1 May 2014 – as the first carrier from the Indian subcontinent to become part of any global airline groups.
SriLankan Airlines was invited to join oneworld in June 2012, adding one of Asia's fastest growing airlines to oneworld.
Tracing its origins back to 1947, SriLankan Airlines today is the flag carrier airline of Sri Lanka and also the largest international airline serving Maldives. SriLankan also has a significant presence in southern India.
SriLankan Airlines has virtually doubled in size since peace returned to its home country three years ago. Substantial expansion is planned for its network and fleet in the next few years.
It now operates a fleet of 21 aircraft and carried 3.5 million passengers last year between its Colombo base and 34 destinations in 22 countries across Asia, Europe and the Middle East. That includes the following oneworld hubs: Hong Kong, London Heathrow, Moscow Domodedovo and Tokyo Narita.
Once SriLankan becomes a full member of oneworld, its FlySmiLes frequent flyer programme members will enjoy additional benefits including the ability to earn and redeem points across the oneworld network and access to more premium lounges around the world.
