SriLankan Airlines has launched 'Serendib Treasures', an exciting new range of duty free products for passengers to choose from on board its flights.

Shopping in the unhurried environment of an aircraft cabin is a popular pastime among many of SriLankan's passengers, and on-board sales have been booming this year.

Nigel O'Shea, Head of Service Delivery at SriLankan, said: "The new Serendib Treasures collection is yet another means by which SriLankan Airlines is adding value to our passengers' travel. We have included many of the latest name-brand items, and we will be constantly revamping the product range."

The Serendib Treasures collection includes more than 180 products ranging from the most sought after fragrances and cosmetics, to designer watches, name brand pens, exquisite jewellery, exotic souvenirs, gift items and products for children.

Jehan Karunaratne, Manager Inflight Service Support, said: "There's something for everyone to choose from in the Serendib Treasures collection. We also offer special discounts on various items, and gift items with the purchase of certain products."

The Serendib Treasures collection can also be seen through the convenience of the Internet at www.srilankan.aero/dutyfree. Passengers have the option of booking products of their choice up to 48 hours prior to their flights, and avoiding disappointment in the case of items which may be in high demand.

SriLankan is renowned for its warm and friendly inflight service, and many on-board comforts. In recent years it has won such prestigious awards as World's Best Airline in a survey of Economy Class passengers, World's Friendliest Cabin Staff, first runner-up for World's Best Cabin Staff, and Best Overall Inflight Entertainment (small fleet).

SriLankan now flies to 51 destinations in 28 countries throughout Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
