Emirates fetes top agents in Sri Lanka

Emirates Airlines hosted nearly 200 representatives of leading travel agencies in Sri Lanka at a dinner at Waters Edge to celebrate the airline's partnership with the trade and acknowledge their contribution to the airline's success in 2014. Emirates Area Manager for Sri Lanka and the Maldives, Chandana de Silva said this period represents a truly phenomenal journey for the airline.

"When Emirates operated its first flight to Sri Lanka in April 1986, Colombo was the fourth destination on its network. Today, Emirates connects Sri Lanka to a global network of 147 cities in 82 countries," he said.

"The role the airline has played in supporting the growth of tourism and the Sri Lankan economy in general, is therefore, immeasurable," de Silva said.

"Throughout this journey travel agents have been an integral part of our growth, for which we are extremely grateful," he said.

"We look forward to their continued support in the years ahead, which I can assure you, will be exciting indeed," de Silva said.

Emirates employs more than 1,300 Sri Lankans in its operations in Dubai, with nearly 150 of them as cabin crew on flights around the world.
