Sri Lanka Association of Airline Representatives in association with BMICH, launched the Tree Planting campaign on 8 Feb 2023 at BMICH premises.

The objective of launching the Tree Planting project is to support global environmental issues such as global warming, air pollution, lack of echo-friendly environments and sustainability, etc.

The reason behind selecting BMICH premises for this worthy cause was mainly because BMICH is centrally located and it is an urban forest in the heart of the city which expands to 42 acres.

In addition, the historical value of the location, the in-house resources, the environment surrounded by lush greenery, etc. was considered for the selection of BMICH to launch our “Tree Planting” project.

It is needless to mention, the world needs more trees to overcome most of the environmental issues in order to save our planet. Hence, in the time to come, we intend to expand this project island-wide in stages.

The Sri Lanka Association of Airline Representatives is in existence for nearly 30 years. The Association has earned itself a reputation for being a vibrant entity that safeguards the interest of the Airline industry and its members representing online and offline passenger/cargo GSAs. The key objective of the Association is to support the industry, stakeholders, and regulatory authorities in solving many challenges related to the industry in an efficient and effective manner. Our efforts will pave the way for all foreign airlines to continue their operations and increase their frequencies to Sri Lanka and bring much-needed tourists to the country.

In addition, the association continues to provide training and development for the staff members of the industry and supports various CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) projects for the benefit of the community.
