SriLankan Airlines Celebrates 46 Years

SriLankan Airlines marked another year around the sun on September 1, 2025, celebrating its 46^th anniversary by giving valued customers more reasons to explore the world with special anniversary offers. The airlines have long been true ambassadors for Sri Lankan hospitality on the global stage. Local in spirit, global in operations, and renowned for its award-winning service, the airline looks forward to many more years of seamlessly connecting people, cultures and trade.

Spreading the cheer, customers can enjoy 20 per cent off Business Class and 15 per cent off Economy Class return fares to all online destinations when booked via the SriLankan Airlines website between September 1 – 5, ’25. Members of the airline’s loyalty programme, FlySmiLes, who book within the first two weeks of September will also earn a 46 per cent bonus of miles, symbolising 46 years in the skies.

No anniversary celebration is complete without recognising the airline’s own internal customers – its dedicated employees. Throughout September, SriLankan Airlines will host a series of special programmes for staff, including religious services to invoke blessings on the airline.

Over the years, SriLankan Airlines has demonstrated its versatility in an ever-changing and challenging aviation landscape.
