SriLankan Airlines led the South Asian region at the PAX International Readership Awards 2026 held in Hamburg, Germany, securing top honours for Best Overall Passenger Experience and Most Improved Airline.
The Best Overall Passenger Experience award recognises airlines that deliver excellence across key onboard touchpoints such as meal service, inflight entertainment and seating. For SriLankan Airlines, this reflects a carefully coordinated approach across multiple teams, with continuous enhancements to ensure a consistently high-quality passenger journey.
Maria Sathasivam, Manager Product Development at SriLankan Airlines, commented, “We are incredibly honoured to receive yet another independent endorsement of the service we deliver. Every interaction matters to us, and we remain committed to consistently meeting and exceeding passenger expectations. It is truly rewarding to see these efforts recognised.”
The airline continues to strengthen its end-to-end travel experience, from booking to arrival, through ongoing digital upgrades. Enhancements to its website and mobile app now offer a more seamless and intuitive user experience, supported by AI-driven features and expanded ancillary services. At Bandaranaike International Airport, SriLankan Airlines has also expanded self-check-in and bag drop facilities to improve passenger convenience.
Onboard, passengers are welcomed with the warmth of Sri Lankan hospitality delivered by the airline’s cabin crew. This is complemented by its award-winning inflight dining, which blends international cuisine with regionally inspired flavours, including a signature Sri Lankan meal that showcases the island’s rich culinary heritage.
Table by Nyne at Lake Lodge celebrates Mother’s Day all through May with a special dining experience
This May, Table by Nyne invites guests to pause, indulge and celebrate life’s most meaningful relationships with a month-long tribute to mothers.
Beginning on Sunday, 10th May — Mother’s Day — and continuing every Sunday throughout the month, families can gather for an elegant High Tea experience, where mothers dine free of charge.
“We wanted to move beyond a single day and celebrate mothers throughout the month, the Table by Nyne way,” said Nayantara Fonseka, Founder of Nyne Hotels.
Table by Nyne’s High Tea offers a contemporary take on a timeless tradition, blending classic favourites such as cucumber sandwiches and freshly baked scones with creative additions like tacos and wagyu sliders. Each element is crafted in-house — from clotted cream to preserves — reflecting a strong commitment to quality, freshness and artisanal detail.
The result is a refined, multi-sensory dining experience that goes beyond flavour, offering a thoughtful and elegant way to honour mothers.
Positioned as accessible luxury, the High Tea is priced at LKR 8,000 nett per person. Advance reservations are required, and guests are encouraged to call 077 100 2001 at least 24 hours prior to their visit to secure their booking.
