SriLankan Cargo

SriLankan Cargo functions as the dedicated freight handling and logistics division of Sri Lanka’s national carrier. Operating as a critical link in the South Asian supply chain, the organisation manages air cargo operations through its primary hub at Bandaranaike International Airport. It provides belly-hold capacity across a passenger fleet and maintains dedicated storage infrastructure to facilitate the movement of perishable goods, textiles, and high-value electronics between regional manufacturing centres and global markets. The organisation serves a broad network of international freight forwarders and logistics integrators, leveraging the route map of SriLankan Airlines. Its operations are closely integrated with the carrier's Airbus A330 and A321 fleet, providing connectivity to major trade gateways in Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region. As a member of the Oneworld alliance through its parent company, it facilitates interline transfers and coordinates with regional ground handling partners to maintain transit efficiency. Prospective partners should verify current air waybill tracking capabilities and the specific handling certifications held at the Colombo hub, particularly for temperature-controlled pharmaceutical shipments or hazardous materials. Buyers should confirm available uplift capacity on specific routes, as schedules are tied to the parent airline's passenger operations. It is also advisable to review the entity's compliance with IATA safety standards and local customs clearance protocols before committing to long-term logistics contracts.
