Sri Lankan Airlines won the ‘Outstanding Food Service by a Carrier—South Asia’ award at the PAX Readership Awards 2025, held on 9 April 2025 in Germany. This proves once again its culinary expertise in serving an inflight dining experience that truly stands out. The PAX Readership Awards, presented by PAX International and PAX Tech magazines, are exclusively determined by a popular vote from over 15,500 aviation professionals worldwide.

Dimuthu Tennakoon, Head of Commercial at Sri Lankan Airlines, shared his thoughts on the win: “A big thank you to everyone who voted for us. We take great care to ensure our onboard menus are a sensory treat, as food plays a crucial role in shaping the overall flying experience – whether you are a first-time traveller or frequent flyer. We continuously review passenger feedback across different sectors to craft our menus, guaranteeing that meals are prepped with the freshest ingredients, cater to diverse preferences and dietary needs and feature regular updates. This recognition reaffirms that we’ve got the recipe right for our onboard food service.”

The Sri Lankan Airlines’ inflight menu offers an international flair, perfectly blending local cuisine from each airline’s market. In its South Asian service, Sri Lankan presents a choice of meals inspired by the localities within its widespread network spanning India, the Maldives, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal. The airline’s customers from this region can look forward to the familiar tastes of home, from an assortment of biriyani and masala to Idli, upma, samosas, paratha, chapati, and traditional curries such as palak paneer, aloo gobi, gobi masala, butter chicken makhani; and more.

Wherever one is flying, a mainstay on every Sri Lankan Airlines flight is the Sri Lankan meal option, featured under its award-winning ‘Sri Lankan Flavours’ menu. Using heritage recipes and authentic, local ingredients, SriLankan Airlines serves delicious classics such as egg roti with para fish curry and crumb fried prawns; hunched rice with traditional curries; kuruluthuda heirloom rice with chicken pepper curry and local vegetables; and lampreys. Sri Lankan Flavours received the 2024 IFSA Best Inflight Food or Beverage Innovation Award.
