SriLankan Airlines will join oneworld, adding one of Asia's fastest growing airlines to the airline alliance.
The airline is expected to be implemented into oneworld late next year, flying alongside some of the biggest and best brands in the airline business. Cathay Pacific will serve as its sponsor, supporting the airline through its oneworld implementation programme.
SriLankan already codeshares with oneworld member designate, Malaysia Airlines – and today announced an agreement in principle to codeshare with oneworld partners, Royal Jordanian and S7 Airlines.
SriLankan 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, including oneworld hubs Hong Kong, London Heathrow, Kuala Lumpur, Moscow Domodedovo and Tokyo Narita, along with Bangkok and Singapore.
Besides flying as Sri Lanka's flag carrier, it is also the largest international carrier serving the neighbouring Maldives and also has a significant presence in southern India.
