A typical post picks up 13 interactions against 123K followers, an engagement rate of 0.011%. Measured over 11 original posts, its engagement rate beats 19% of 15,519 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 1.4K times each, and 0.933% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.13% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.37 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 30% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 11 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 9% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 280 interactions, about 22x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #iflysrilankan, #srilankanairlines, #germanunityday.

Compared with accounts its own size

SriLankan Airlines's engagement rate beats 19% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (15,519 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 39% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.011%, SriLankan Airlines sits above the 10th percentile of the 156,839 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.022%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 156,839 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 26,058 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 19:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

  • 100% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 9% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 619 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    🇱🇰🏉 Carrying our champions, connecting generations. SriLankan Airlines proudly welcomed Sri Lanka’s Women’s Rugby Team onboard UL404 from Colombo to Bangkok as they embarked on their next international challenge. Making the journey even more special was Cabin Manager Savio Gomez, who once represented Kingswood College, Kandy as Vice-Captain of its Rugby Team in 1986. A proud rugby alumnus, Savio shared a memorable moment with the national squad, celebrating a bond that transcends generations and the spirit of the game. As Sri Lanka’s national carrier, we are honoured to be the preferred air travel partner for Sri Lankan teams representing the nation on the world stage.

A typical post picks up 13 interactions against 123K followers, an engagement rate of 0.011%. Measured over 11 original posts, its engagement rate beats 19% of 15,519 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own.

What is SriLankan Airlines's engagement rate on X?
SriLankan Airlines (@flysrilankan) has an engagement rate of 0.011%, based on the median interactions across 11 original posts from the last 30 days against 122,859 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.011%, SriLankan Airlines sits above the 10th percentile of the 156,839 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @flysrilankan have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 19% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (15,519 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @flysrilankan post?
Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.37 posts per day across the measured window.
