New Deals Offered to Commemorate Malaysia’s 50th Independence Celebrations
SriLankan Airlines carried a record number of passengers from Saudi Arabia to Malaysia during the second half of 2006, with over 3,500 travellers choosing the carrier for flights into Kuala Lumpur. Riza Yusoof, Srilankan Airlines’ Country Manager for Saudi Arabia believes that the combination of world recognised service, competitive fares with convenient departure and arrival times has allowed the airline to cement its position as the carrier of choice for passengers flying from Dammam and Riyadh into the Malaysian capital.
“SriLankan Airlines has shown that it is by far the favourite airline for flyers travelling from Saudi to Malaysia, as reflected in the growth of our bookings. We offer the fastest connecting flights to Kuala Lumpur from Dammam and Riyadh, with a transit time of only one hour at Colombo. Our direct flights from our hub into the Malaysian capital arrive at 13:00, which is an ideal arrival time for checking into hotels and our return flights depart at 13:50, which is perfect for checking out”, said Mr Yusoof.
“In addition to our Saudi services we also offer five flights per week from Bahrain to Colombo and connecting Malaysian flights, and customers living in Saudi’s eastern province find this to be more convenient”, he added.
Starting February 2007 SriLankan Airlines is offering a range of special promotional airfares to Kuala Lumpur that are available for customers to commemorate Malaysia’s fiftieth year of independence.
SriLankan Airlines has received numerous industry accolades for its products and services over the past few years. It has been voted Central Asia’s Airline of the Year for four consecutive years and independent research from Skytrax UK, the world’s leading airline travel guide, has found the on-board staff to be the world’s friendliest cabin crew.
The carrier has also been awarded the title; ‘World’s Best Airline’, in a survey of Economy class passengers. It was also recently second runner-up for the best overall in-flight entertainment at the World Airline Entertainment Association’s annual awards.
