SriLankan Airlines eyes doubling aircraft by 2030

Colombo : SriLankan Airlines plans to add two more aircraft to its fleet by the end of the year, said Chairman Sarath Clement Ganegoda to the media.

The Chairman also revealed that SriLankan Airlines has submitted an ambitious five-year strategic plan to the government, outlining short-, medium-, and long-term goals.
