DFCC Bank, through its Aloka proposition, proudly sponsored the International Women’s Day aviation event organized by the Sri Lanka Air Traffic Controllers’ Association (SLATCA). This initiative reinforced the Bank’s ongoing commitment to empowering women by fostering financial inclusion and supporting their professional growth.
The event, which brought together female air traffic controllers, pilots from both civil and military sectors, and aspiring aviation professionals, served as a platform for meaningful discussions on industry challenges, career progression, and the evolving role of women in aviation. Attendees gained valuable insights through engaging panel discussions and interactive sessions while networking with industry peers.
As a staunch advocate for gender diversity, DFCC Bank was honoured to support this initiative, underscoring its dedication to promoting equality across all sectors.
