SriLankan appoints first woman Captain

SriLankan recently marked a significant milestone in the country's aviation history when Captain Anusha Siriratne was appointed as the national carrier's first woman Captain.

Interestingly, Capt. Anusha and her husband Capt. Hemantha Siriratne also made history as the first husband-wife pilot duo in the country.

Capt. Hemantha received his Captain's appointment earlier this year. Captain Anusha is modest about her appointment and brushed off her achievement, which had been her childhood ambition.
