SriLankan Airlines, Kuwait Airways launch codeshare partnership

National carrier SriLankan Airlines, and Kuwait Airways has launched a new codeshare partnership that came into effect on 20 June 2022.

The partnership provides enhanced connections and convenience to customers of both airlines. Each airline will place the other airline’s marketing code on its flights operated between Colombo and Kuwait with the alliance coming into effect.

In a statement to the media, SriLankan Airlines said the new codeshare partnership will strengthen and take to new heights the cordial commercial relationship that has existed between the two airlines.

Passengers may essentially expect to gain all the benefits of codeshare flights including seamless connectivity and the convenience of having their entire journey managed by one airline from the point of purchasing tickets until they arrive at their final destination with the launch of this partnership.

Furthermore, passengers of both airlines will enjoy increased alternative flight options, specifically to the Middle East and Europe via Kuwait and to the Indian Subcontinent and the Far East via Colombo. 

Both SriLankan Airlines and Kuwait Airways are also working on incorporating the Frequent Flyer Program for codeshare flights, and plan on exploring other avenues for future mutual co-operation and expansion of their partnership.
