The Civil Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka (CAASL) officially launched its E-Library, marking another significant milestone in the Authority's digital transformation journey and reaffirming its commitment to fostering a sustainable, paperless working environment.

The E-Library was officially inaugurated by Director General of Civil Aviation, Capt. Daminda Rambukwella, together with Chairman of the Civil Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka, Mr. Sunil Jayarathne, in the presence of the Deputy Directors General and senior officials of the Authority.

Developed with the support of the ICT Unit, the E-Library provides CAASL staff with centralized digital access to the latest International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annexes and other technical publications relevant to their respective functional areas. The platform enables timely access to current reference materials, enhances knowledge sharing, improves operational efficiency, strengthens regulatory compliance, and significantly reduces reliance on printed documents.

To strengthen access to technical reference materials, CAASL established Sectional Technical Libraries in 2010, comprising hard-copy publications to support operational requirements and facilitate ICAO audit requirements. In line with ICAO's paperless initiative and the Management Circular promoting a paperless working environment, the Authority has now successfully transitioned to a modern digital library platform.

The launch of the E-Library reflects CAASL's continued commitment to digital innovation, effective knowledge management, environmental sustainability, and the adoption of international best practices to support the safe, secure, and efficient development of civil aviation in Sri Lanka.
