Colombo, July 25, 2019: SriLankan Airlines has teamed up with MAS Holdings to elevate their business class passenger experience with Spryng – a smart accessory that is guaranteed to rejuvenate transiting passengers or make ready those embarking on long distance flights. All business class passengers flying the national carrier can enjoy the complimentary service at the airline’s Serendib Lounge at Colombo’s Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA).

Vipula Gunatilleka, Group Chief Executive Officer of SriLankan, said: “SriLankan is constantly searching for ways and means to delight our valued passengers even more. We are pleased to collaborate with MAS Holdings to provide this revolutionary opportunity to customers at our Serendib Lounge.”

Spryng is the latest addition to a growing portfolio of wearable tech and smart accessories introduced commercially to market by Twinery – the innovations-led strategic business unit of MAS. A wireless, active pneumatic compression wrap that mimics natural muscle contractions in the calves, Spryng helps reduce muscle soreness by stimulating blood circulation and increasing cellular oxygen supply. For business class passengers with a few minutes to spare in transit, or those waiting to board a flight, Spryng guarantees incredible recovery and muscle relief in only 15 minutes of use.

Using the breakthrough patent-pending WaveTech compression technology, Spryng is ideal for rough leg days; be it post a long distance flight, a marathon, a long day spent behind a desk or performing a surgery. The portable, rechargeable device has three different intensity settings that allows users to adjust the amount of compression, and two compression patterns to choose from.

The Serendib Lounge is SriLankan’s elegant and exclusive airport lounge that caters to its most discerning customers 24 hours a day, with a relaxed ambience that caters to the requirements of the modern business traveler. The Serendib experience includes feasting on a buffet of hot and cold delicacies; complemented by an array of wines, spirits and juices; 16 varieties of quality Ceylon Tea; a fully equipped business centre; a quiet area to rest in; personal rest rooms with showers; and a comfortable television viewing area.
