COLOMBO : The Travel Agents Association of Sri Lanka (TAASL) extends its profound appreciation to the entire Sri Lankan aviation and airline community for their exceptional dedication during the challenging period brought on by the devastation of the “Dilwah ” storm.
Across all sectors — airport service teams, airline staff, flight crew, engineering, ground handling, passenger services, security, commercial and ticketing teams, administrative units, and many other support divisions — countless individuals continued to report for duty despite personal hardship, uncertainty, and emotional strain.
At a time when the nation faced widespread disruption and distress, your unwavering resolve helped sustain vital operations, maintain connectivity, and support the citizens and travellers who depended on aviation services. This commitment reflects the true strength and professionalism of the aviation sector in Sri Lanka.
Choosing duty over comfort, responsibility over ease, and unity over despair, you upheld both service standards and the image of our country during a period of significant crisis. Your resilience and humanity stand as a testament to the calibre of people who serve within our industry.
On behalf of the Executive Council and members of TAASL, we salute your contribution and express our heartfelt gratitude. Your actions reminded the nation that even in the most difficult moments, the spirit of service within Sri Lanka’s aviation infrastructure remains unbroken.
TAASL stands with you, honours you, and deeply appreciates your dedication. – Executive Council
Travel Agents Association of Sri Lanka (TAASL)
