National carrier SriLankan Airlines announced today that it has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with US-based leading aerospace company Boeing.

The new agreement would enable both parties to explore airframe maintenance, component maintenance, training and other commercial opportunities, SriLankan Airlines said in a statement a short while ago.

The agreement was inked in a hybrid event in the presence of SriLankan Airlines CEO Vipula Gunathilake, Head of Engineering Shevantha Weerasekera and Boeing Sales Director Kaanthi Bhuvanagiri, whereas the other officials joined virtually.
