SriLankan Airlines focuses expansion on North Asia as it prepares to join oneworld

27-Feb-2013 7:00 AM

SriLankan Airlines is planning to focus expansion on existing and new markets in Asia ahead of the carrier’s ascension into the oneworld alliance. SriLankan is now on course to formally become oneworld’s smallest member in Nov-2013.

The government-owned carrier is currently focused heavily on South Asia, which accounts for 41% of its international seat capacity. SriLankan’s network in South Asia, particularly India and the Maldives, is its main draw to oneworld. But North Asia is SriLankan’s target growth market, with more capacity to greater China and the likely launch of flights to South Korea. SriLankan’s North Asia expansion could be boosted by a relationship with Cathay Pacific, which is sponsoring SriLankan’s membership into oneworld.

Sri Lankan aviation: A review of 2009 and outlook for 2010

19-Feb-2010 3:47 PM

Sri Lanka’s aviation industry has suffered on several fronts in recent years, with its hub role to India diminished by that country's liberalisation of airline market access with its key trading partners, coupled with a major downturn in international tourism. Major policy and strategic changes in the aviation sector are now occurring, spearheaded by the impending full renationalisation of SriLankan Airlines, and development of a second international airport. Both these developments reflect Sri Lankan aviation's streamlined future role: supporting the national tourism industry, which has improved prospects thanks to the cessation of the long-running civil war in mid-2009.
