Expolanka Freight Private Limited, one of Sri Lanka's largest freight forwarders and a subsidiary of Expolanka Holdings PLC, opened a branch in Hambantota recently.

The office facility comes in the wake of Expolanka Freight announcing its partnership with SriLankan Airlines, taking on the role as their Authorised Cargo Agent, to handle logistics and cargo services in Hambantota.

Expolanka Freight Director/CEO, Jagath Pathirane said, "The opening of an additional Expolanka Freight branch in the developing district of Hambantota will tap the potential as the region is crucially located between important ports, Sri Lanka's second international airport (that is scheduled to open in 2012) and the commercial capital of Colombo.

With Hambantota being developed as a vital entry point to Sri Lanka, the demand for cargo and logistics solutions continues to rise, providing a multitude of growth opportunities for Expolanka Freight and its clientele."
