National carrier, SriLankan Airlines has been awarded ‘Platinum Standard’ status by APEX Health Safety, powered by SimpliFlying.
The status was awarded following a full independent audit for the airline’s efforts in ensuring the highest standards for passenger safety and wellbeing during air travel, post-Covid.
The Platinum Standard status recognizes airlines that go above and beyond minimum standards required to rebuild traveller confidence.
“The latest recognition awarded to SriLankan Airlines based on an international independent safety audit, is a definitive indication that the airline stands tall in the aviation industry in its operations under trying conditions of a global pandemic and is a source of pride to Sri Lanka,” SriLankan Airlines Chairman Ashok Pathirage said.
He added that the status is a timely accolade for the national carrier at a time when Sri Lanka’s borders are reopening for international travel and tourism.
