History

edit

The company was incorporated in 2007 as Jetwing Airport Hotel Pvt Ltd. The name was changed to Jetwing Symphony in November 2011 and changed its legal status to a limited company in the following month.[2] Jetwing Symphony announced its initial public offering (IPO) in 2017. The company offered 10% of its stake and hoped to raise LKR750-900 million. The company planned to employ the capital to build Jetwing Kandy Gallery and settle the debts of some of its properties.[3] IPO which opened on 14 December was oversubscribed.[4] Jetwing Symphony made its debut trading on the Colombo Stock Exchange in January 2018 following its IPO.[5]

Operations

edit

Jetwing Symphony posted a profit for the first time in March 2019 after going public. The company acts as the holding company for the new hotel of the Jetwing Group.[6] The company suffered from 2019 Sri Lanka Easter bombings, as the attacks affected the tourism in Sri Lanka.[7]
