Health and Safety
Safety First
While on flight, SriLankan Airlines suggests that you keep your seat belt fastened at all times when you are seated - even when the 'fasten seat belt' sign is switched off. The safety card which demonstrates the emergency procedures is located in the seat pocket. It is advisable for you to go through it and familiarize yourself with the aircraft's safety features.
