SriLankan Airlines' staff are working around the clock assisting the authorities to repatriate overseas visitors home, fly emergency aid workers and supplies into Colombo from all over the world and launch rehabilitation programs for the victims of the last Sunday's Tsunami devastation.

The airline is working with embassies and international aid agencies in mobilising relief and emergency supplies and with the Tourist Board to facilitate the departure of tourists wishing to leave the country.

The airline's airport staff are busy clearing the tons of aid already flown into Colombo by the national carrier, other scheduled airlines and charter operators from all parts of the world.

Large backlogs of cargo await shipment at airports in Bangkok, Singapore, Dubai and London and the airline is making every effort to bring this to Colombo as soon as possible. SriLankan Airlines has waived off all handling charges for relief cargo at Colombo's International airport.
