The arrival of WEAIR in Sri Lanka represents a significant investment that will strengthen the country's air cargo capacity and regional connectivity, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment and Tourism Vijitha Herath said.
The Minister made these remarks while attending the inauguration ceremony of the Luxembourg-backed project recently.
WEAIR is set to operate as a Sri Lanka-based cargo airline, connecting Colombo with key destinations across South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Indian Ocean region, the Middle East, and Africa.
Addressing the gathering, Minister Herath noted that the project reflects growing international confidence in Sri Lanka’s economic potential and strategic location. He emphasized that the initiative would support the country’s ambitions to become a regional logistics hub while enhancing trade, exports, tourism-related supply chains, and cargo transportation services.
The Minister also highlighted the company’s potential to generate employment opportunities and contribute to the development of Sri Lanka’s aviation and logistics sectors.
Representatives of WEAIR, investors, industry stakeholders, and officials from the aviation and logistics sectors attended the event.
