SriLankan Airlines CEO Update: Recovery and expanded cargo operations

SriLankan Airlines is the national carrier of Sri Lanka based in Colombo and a member of the oneworld alliance. The carrier operates a network of regional services within Asia and the Subcontinent, as well as services to the Middle East and Europe and several unique destinations which are not served by any other international carrier.  

During the pandemic the carrier significantly expanded their cargo operations and completed an Airbus A330 freighter conversion in-house with plans to convert a second aircraft and induct dedicated freighters by the third quarter of 2021. The airline has been looking into new MRO opportunities either through joint ventures to set up a new MRO facility or by using the existing hangars and workshop capacity under a franchise. 

We will hear an update from the region and how the cargo and MRO opportunities are progressing.
