SriLankan Airlines is taking its onboard safety protocols to new heights with the launch of a stunning safety video that combines essential safety instructions with the breathtaking beauty of Sri Lanka’s landscapes. The airline’s innovative approach transforms a regulatory requirement into a cinematic experience, blending the warmth of SriLankan hospitality with the island’s diverse attractions.

Unveiled to over 200 international travel partners at the Global Sales Conference, the video offers a refreshing change from the airline’s previous safety demonstration, which had been in use for over a decade. “We are delighted to launch our brand-new onboard safety video,” said Richard Nuttall, CEO of SriLankan Airlines. “This video offers a fresh perspective on the island home we proudly share with the world.”

The video takes viewers on a visual journey through Sri Lanka, turning the aircraft cabin into a virtual tour of the island’s most mesmerizing locations, from lush forests to serene beaches. This unique blend of safety information and scenic ambiances not only ensures passengers’ safety but also showcases Sri Lanka as a captivating destination.

Collaboration with the Civil Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka (CAASL) helped ensure the video meets regulatory standards while being universally comprehensible. To enhance engagement, the inflight version features subtitles in Sinhala and Tamil, ensuring clarity for all passengers.

SriLankan Airlines is no stranger to promoting the island’s charm through its global network. From hosting adventure events like Raid Amazones and BikingMan to supporting sports tourism, the airline continually showcases Sri Lanka as a premier destination for exploration and entertainment. With this new safety video, the airline further reinforces its commitment to highlighting the beauty of Sri Lanka while ensuring a safe and memorable journey for its passengers.
