BIA's Serendib Lounge transformed with latest IT sophistication

 

SriLankan Airlines has transformed its plush 'Serendib' Business Class Lounge at Colombo's Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) into one of the most technologically advanced airport lounges by investing in state of the art systems in entertainment, business and information.

The enhancement of the Serendib Lounge's facilities is one of the many steps by the National Carrier in support of the country's aviation and tourism industries, which the Government views as catalysts in the country's economic growth, stated the SriLankan Airlines.

BIA, already reputed as the finest airport in South Asia, is currently undergoing yet another phase of expansion to add even more facilities apart from its modern aero bridges, new arrivals and departures terminals, new pier, elegant airport hotel, and well-stocked duty free centre, the Airline added.

"At SriLankan we are constantly seeking to innovate in order to provide our passengers with the very best in comfort and convenience. That's on top of our world renowned reputation for the highest standards in service, both in the air and on the ground," said SriLankan's Head of Service Delivery, G.T.Jeyaseelan.

SriLankan last year won two Platinum Awards from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the air travel industry's global governing body, for its use of sophisticated technology to advance its business and passenger convenience. They included one for its operations at BIA where it is the sole ground handler for all airlines; and another for being one of the first airlines in the world to introduce a major innovation to tickets - the 2D Bar Coded Boarding Passes Programme.
