Sri Lankan Airline’s to save Rs.75mn annual cost by shifting its corporate offices to Katunayake

July, 4, 2019

The Board and Management of SriLankan Airlines have taken a decision to relocate all its corporate offices in the World Trade Centre to its main operational hub in Katunayake.

“It is business as usual for all our valued customers as none of the key sales and customer centric frontline operations will be relocated contrary to recent media report,” the board noted.

Accordingly, Sri Lanka Sales, FlySmiLes, the Global Contact Center and the Cargo Sales Offices will continue to operate from their current locations in Colombo i.e. Level 3 - World Trade Centre, Iceland Building - Colombo 3 and De Vos Avenue - Colombo 4 in order to provide convenient and direct customer access.

‘This initiative would result in a cost saving of approximately Rupees 75 million per annum and will make our back office operations much more efficient”, the board added.

The shifting of the offices commenced on 28th June and will continue on a staggered basis with completion planned by mid-August.
