A special flight service had
been allocated at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA)
to fly visitors for the 11th International Indian Film
Academy (IIFA) Awards at the Sugathadasa Indoor stadium on
June 5.
Eight special flights with
business class seats catering special food will begin
operations from today by flying guests from Bombay to Sri
Lanka. SriLankan Catering (Pvt) Limited will also provide
food for the IIFA pre-awards cocktails event. Backstage
catering will also be done by them. Artistes will be able to
stroll along the green carpet and enter the cocktail area to
enjoy the delicacies.
According to SriLankan
Catering Chief Executive Officer Sarath Fernando, a range of
Western food will be served to the guests.
“There will be a mixture of
Western and Indian dishes along with a variety of food for
vegetarians as well as non-vegetarians. Special Sri Lankan
dishes will also be included in the menu. Hot and cold
finger food will be served at the IIFA Awards. There will be
around 30 items included in the list. We have around 166
chefs working on this. Production Manager Sudeesh Pandey
heads the project along with chef Antony Gibson. We are
hoping to serve around 2,000 people,” he said.
He said the food served will
be in the most hygienic standard and that the food will
cater to everyone’s fancy.
