SriLankan Airlines is pleased to be of service to Indonesia and

SriLankan Airlines is pleased to be of service to Indonesia and
has been a longstanding member of the Jakarta community.

Our operating schedule has changed over the years but in the year
2000 we took a conscious decision to increase our presence and
added 50% more capacity with the introduction of our 3rd weekly
flight.
To further meet the needs of our customers, one flight operates
to Colombo via Singapore while the other two fly direct from
Jakarta to Colombo.
Our Colombo services are geared to both leisure and corporate
travellers and we have excellent connections to other
destinations on our route network in Europe, the Middle East,
India and the Maldives.

All Indonesian services are operated with state-of-the-art, wide-
bodied Airbus A330's and A340's and all flights feature in seat
video entertainment systems in both the business and economy
class cabins.

Sri Lanka is at the beginning of a major tourism growth cycle
with harmony returned to the country mainly due to the success of
the peace talks, now one year old. The year 2002 was a record
year for SriLankan Airlines and we recorded the largest ever year
of Indonesians visiting solely for tourism purposes. We are
gearing for an increase in the number of tourism arrivals and
this year offer no less than 37 choices of touring options
through our Indonesian travel agency partners.

We also believe we have assisted the Indonesian community by
bringing foreign tourists to Indonesia. 2002 saw a dramatic
increase in Indian tourist arrivals and this is an area we plan
to further cultivate in 2003.

SriLankan Airlines, formerly Air Lanka is now a revitalized flag
carrier after privatisation when Emirates, the Dubai based
airline, become a major shareholder. After our re-branding,
SriLankan Airlines has won many service quality awards. In fact
we have just received the TTG Asia award as the Best Airline in
South Asia. We are proud of this and many other awards but our
commitment is to become the best airline in South East Asia and
we will not rest until our dream is a reality.
We are the first to realise that consumer loyalty cannot be
purchased, as some other airlines seem to think is possible and
therefore we are resolved in our approach to offering a quality
service at affordable prices.
As the SriLankan Airlines brand continues to mature we will
continue to grow and we hope in the not too distant future that
we will be able to advise you of a 4th frequency to Jakarta.
