The enchanting charm that has contributed to making Sri Lanka so distinctive, stems directly from the vibrant effervescence of her courageously resilient, always smiling people, and the awe-inspiring majesty and diversity of her natural beauty. In a predominantly rural country, most often, these two vital entities are intertwined, the fate of one determining the fate of the other.

Keenly conscious of our responsibility to both the environment and the Sri Lankan people, Jetwing has embarked on numerous projects at grassroot level. Through our network of hotels, we oversee the upkeep of schools and hospitals while providing much needed English education to the community. On a larger scale Jetwing has launched ‘Taxi Service Through The Community’ aimed at increasing employment opportunities for local youth.

On the environmental front great strides have been taken to minimise Sri Lanka’s contribution to global warming through the ‘Jetwing Eternal Earth Project’ which strives to create a sustainable and replicable model of reforestation while promoting ‘Earth Saving Practices’ to the community.
