We flew Sri Lankan airlines last month (Melbourne to Colombo) and just last week (Colombo to Sydney) with no issues. I checked flight tracker before both flights and they appear to run to schedule pretty consistently. Have flown them before, 5 years ago with the same experience. The service is always very good. They’re not the worlds best airline, but were half the price of Singapore Airlines so decent value for money.

Feeling sad to hear their current state. Sri Lankan Airlines was THE ONLY airlines that provided full service at an affordable price in the South Asian region. Wish them get back to their former glory soon!

As a Sri Lankan citizen, this video is humiliating but it is the truth. It makes my blood boil to think about what our leaders have done to the country and specifically this airline.

when I traveled with Sri Lankan Airlines a few months ago, I did not face any issue. It was a safe landing, and their hospitality is excellent as well. ❤

this is such a shame. the first longhaul flight i ever went on was London to Sri Lanka with this airline back in 2002. service, food, and plane seemed incredible. i still have the airline branded deck of cards somewhere. i hope they (and Sri Lanka generally) are able to sort out their problems

[LasanthaNawarathna]

As Sri Lankan I can say this is very true. But it’s not because of financial issue, it’s because of ton of corruptions.

He is talking about Sri Lankan Airline not Sri Lanka, As a person who went to Sri Lanka couple of times (you can take some other airline, ) i didn't hear any Sri Lankan airline crash.
Anyway as a traveler Sri Lanka is one of the best country for me as a budget traveler, It's full package, safe communication easy cheap affordable beauty ancient history modern city fairly clean beautiful beaches, mountains (no sex trade like some other country) train ride
wild life I can keep going what you can do

My wife flew Srilankan last week, it was overbooked, and had to fly on the following day. However they put her in a fantastic hotel and also in-flight service were world class, fantastic.

Thanks to Srilankan Engineering, you landed safely to upload this video 😃😇

[hansmeyer]

Thanks for the work you do informing the general public about such shortcomings. You could pull a Sam Chui, pretend that everything is fine, take free flights and enrich yourself but your rather do the uncomfortable work, benefiting us frequent fliers and making a positive impact. Thats why I watch you.

It's sad to see Sri Lankan Airlines in this state, I really hope that they succeed in making this carrier as good as it once was...

[anubhavchaturvedi]

I have traveled with over 100 people in the last month as a part of my work as a travel consultant.

No delay & bad experiences so far, they loved the food and crew hospitality.

My family and I just flew SriLankan from Bangkok to Columbo last month. Yes I had seen the terrible reviews and talk of safety issues but decided to take them anyways. We were taking 10 one way flights around the world over the month of July and this was the flight that I was most nervous about. However, it turned out to be one of the best flight experiences of our trip which included carriers like Japan airlines and Emirates. The plane was in great condition, left on time, the crew was very friendly, and the meal was maybe the best of our entire trip. Also we were able to fly direct 3 hours from BKK to CMB without having to connect through KUL like most of the other budget type options I looked into required. So glad I flew on this airline and will never forget the experience. I really hope they make it and wish the best for Sri Lanka an amazing country we will never forget.

Sri Lankan airlines definitely needs to be privatized however, one thing I can say is safety will be their number one priority. They never let a plane take off without being in perfect condition not even with a minor fault that has a 1% chance of going bad. Additionally the pilots even tho they might be overworked will be great as they are highly trained in Sri Lanka and we use traditional methods and don’t rely on technology too much. Other than that the airline should be given to a third party asap or things will get worse, on the other hand on certain routes they do offer the best prices .

[jimhankinson]

It's a great shame. I flew with them from Dhaka to Colombo a few months ago and the service was superb.

[brianvittachi]

They once unloaded all their business class passengers at the last minute because a minister wanted that flight for himself and his entourage. Such a shame for a country that has so much potential.

[sainnt]

I recently flew Sri Lankan from Kuwait to Colombo in the A330-200 economy class, then continued to Jakarta in the A330-300 business class. The crew on both flights were amazing, but both flights were delayed by an average of 2 hours.
I sincerely hope that the airline can find a way to acquire newer aircraft, because they actually have a very good soft product.

First of all, it's great to see you on again on You Tube. It's really important for everyone to take a time out once in a while. Thank you so much for the insights of Sri Lankan Airlines. As a former employee in the Airline Industry, it always hurts me, when greedy and corruptive Manager turning an Airline in to a mess. Hopefully Sri Lankan finds a new Buyer who understands the Airline Business and is able to fix these huge problems.

[rashmiwijethunga]

This happens with every airline. I have travelled with Sri Lankan airlines so many times but have never experienced any delays. But I have experienced delays in Singapore airlines. Calling this a dangerous state is too much because unlike other airelines, safety is their main priority that they won't take off if there's even a small possiblity of bad experience. When it comes to safety, I would 100% trust this airline. Yes the service is not good as before and aircrafts are old but I'm pretty confident about Sri Lankan airline's safety.
