SriLankan Airlines, the National Carrier of Sri Lanka and a member of the one world alliance, welcomed aboard the global media icon Richard Quest of CNN during his journey from London to Colombo recently. He also spent many memorable moments at the Airline’s Headquarters subsequently, exploring the operational areas and interacting with staff, thus gathering fascinating facets of the SriLankan story for his much coveted ‘CNN Business Traveller’ programme.
During his journey from London to Colombo, Mr. Quest was interacting with the passengers with much enthusiasm and shared experiences with the cabin crew and the pilots. He was fascinated by the various aspects of the Airline’s inflight service, which included serving the trademark Ceylon tea.
Sharing his thoughts on the onboard experience, Mr. Quest said, “The service onboard was excellent. From the choice of meals to juices it was a very good experience. The Aircraft with 1-2-1 configuration is quite spacious. I travel a lot and the reverse herringbone formation in that particular configuration provides you ample legroom which is ideal for a long journey.”
Watch out for the latest edition of the CNN Business Traveller to find out what he uncovered about SriLankan Airlines.
