SriLankan Airlines inflight entertainment guide 'Onboard' secured a 'First Runner-Up' rating for the 'Best In-Flight Entertainment Guide 2002' at the 14th annual AVION Awards organised by the World Airlines' Entertainment Association (WAEA) when it met this year in Seatle, USA.

Founded in 1979, the WAEA presents the AVION awards for excellence in many categories of inflight entertainment such as radio, video and the print media. As in previous years, a large number of airlines from around the world submitted their inflight entertainment magazines for consideration by a panel of independent and international judges, themselves experts in the spheres of communication and design. They short-listed Air Canada, Air France, Cathay Pacific, SriLankan and United Airlines. 'Onboard' is a 48-page bi-monthly magazine which presents a selection of 18 television channels, 22 radio channels and 16 video games.

The concise and easy on the eye programme schedules are complemented by colourful photographs and movie reviews, entertainment news and features on stars and celebrities in the international entertainment scene. In Business Class, passengers can also choose from 'Ondemand' a catalogue featuring over 30 movies, which contains the film library available to all Business Class passengers. 'Onboard' and 'Ondemand' are published bi-monthly by Agency Fish Ltd, a design company based in London with which Sri Lankan Airlines works closely.
