Sri Lankan Airlines has earned top regional honours for its culinary offering, securing the Best in Food and Beverage Award for Central/South Asia at the 2026 APEX Awards.
The national carrier was recognised for its rich and diverse inflight menu, which blends authentic Sri Lankan flavours with international cuisine. In addition to the win, Sri Lankan Airlines retained its status as a Four Star Major Airline, one of the highest distinctions in the global aviation sector.
The APEX Awards and Official Airline Ratings are drawn from more than one million passenger reviews submitted via the TripIt by Concur travel app. Over 600 airlines are assessed annually across five key areas: cabin comfort, service quality, food and beverage, inflight entertainment, and Wi-Fi performance.
Reflecting on the achievement, Maria Sathasivam, Product Development Manager at SriLankan Airlines, said:
“Receiving this award for the second time reflects the deep trust our passengers place in us. Alongside delivering healthy and delicious meals onboard, we pride ourselves on showcasing Sri Lanka’s vibrant culinary heritage. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all travellers who helped make this possible.”
SriLankan Airlines offers travellers a regularly refreshed inflight menu designed around passenger preferences. Depending on the destination, guests can experience a variety of cuisines, with special emphasis on Sri Lankan favourites such as sambols, kiribath, athirpasa, kottu, and traditional sweets like kiri toffee, coconut toffee, sesame balls, and bibikan. A selection of local beers complements the culinary experience.
The airline currently connects passengers to 120 destinations across 61 countries, operating a modern fleet of Airbus A330-300 and A320/321neo aircraft that serve major cities throughout Europe, Australia, the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Far East.
