As the aviation industry in Sri Lanka continues to expand, Mr. Jayarathna’s appointment signals a renewed focus on enhancing regulatory measures and promoting innovation. His role as Chairman will likely involve the introduction of modern policies, improved safety protocols, and advancements in technological infrastructure, aligning with CAASL’s mission to make Sri Lanka a significant player in the global aviation landscape.
This strategic appointment is viewed positively, as Mr. Jayarathna’s extensive background in administration is expected to contribute significantly to CAASL’s operations. With his guidance, the Authority is well-positioned to reinforce its commitment to upholding international aviation standards, improving passenger experiences, and supporting the growth of domestic and international flight services in Sri Lanka.
