Through comprehensive insurance solutions seamlessly integrated across SriLankan Airlines’ booking channels – including its website, mobile app, and ticket offices – Allianz ensures convenient and customisable protection.
A special ceremony was held on 11 September 2024, where the two organisations officially renewed their partnership, with the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU). The event was graced by high-ranking officials representing both Allianz Insurance Lanka Ltd. and SriLankan Airlines.

From the inception of the partnership, Allianz Insurance Lanka Ltd. and SriLankan Airlines have collaborated to address the evolving needs of global travellers. This has been achieved through both insurance coverage that protects against potential travel disruptions, and an innovative customer-centric, feedback-driven approach. From unexpected trip cancellations to medical emergencies, the insurance solutions provided by Allianz cover a wide variety of risks during travel. Working together with SriLankan Airlines, Allianz’s solutions are designed to reassure passengers, particularly in the complex post-pandemic travel landscape.
As a trusted global leader in insurance and assistance services, Allianz brings deep expertise and extensive operational experience to this collaboration. Leveraging the combined strengths of both organisations, Allianz and SriLankan Airlines are delivering added value to passengers through integrated insurance options they can seamlessly choose when purchasing their air tickets. This partnership thus exemplifies Allianz’s strategic focus on meeting customer expectations by offering protection solutions that are accessible, convenient, and aligned with the realities of modern travel.
Allianz Insurance Lanka Ltd. and SriLankan Airlines remain committed to working together. Going forward, the two organisations will focus on further expanding the scope of the services offered.
