SriLankan Airlines honours long-standing staff

SriLankan Airlines recently feted its many long-standing members of its staff at an awards ceremony at the Airport Garden Hotel.

A total of 442 members of the staff were presented plaques and certificates by the airline’s CEO and members of the senior management team, the company said.

“Since our launch in 1979 our dedicated team of employees have been serving our customers 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 52 weeks per year.

It is their hard work, diligence and commitment that has brought SriLankan to where it is today,” Peter Hill, CEO, said.

Those honoured ranged from cabin crew to pilots, aircraft engineers, airport service staff and finance staff. They included employees from 15 of the airline’s global network of offices - Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Madras, Paris, Muscat, Singapore, Riyadh, Karachi, Tokyo, Doha, Dubai, Trivandrum, Trichy, and Male.

The awards ceremony is held annually for those who complete 10, 15, 20, and 25 years service during that year. The airline was launched on September 1, 1979, 28-years ago and now covers 54 destinations in 28 countries.
