The new government has its work cut out for it...

Investigations are needed into HRI and Mihin. Both need to be closed down ASAP. There needs to be a full accounting especially regarding the mis-use of public funds.

The same investigation is needed into SriLankan. This isn't going to be pretty - plenty that needs to be publicly exposed. Given the high debt load and the costs of continuing operations it may be best to close this down as well. I'm not sure this can ever be made profitable - too many useless donkeys employed at all levels.

A good start would be the removal of the Chairman/CEO/COO and the entire Board. Most of the department heads need to go as well - especially HHR.

They all need to be prevented from leaving the country.

Let's have some Accountability!

Are there any under-performing routes in the UL network (in terms of yields and passenger loads)?

Very difficult to tell, because such figures aren't released publicly.

Hope New Government will shut down Mihinlanka soon and merged with UL and appoint a new management to run Airline to a profitable one.

Some interesting articles (the first one seems to confirm the Chairman & CEO have resigned). Won't post them in full since the information in the articles may not be fully verified.

Not sure if its true but apparently the old UL CEO (from EK times) is still in Sri Lanka. If its actually true I wonder if they'll approach him for another stint at UL (although I doubt he'll take it after he was treated). Even Harry J wouldn't be bad as Chairman.

Indeed. According to linkedin he is an aviation consultant in Colombo for a company called International Airlines & Aviation.

Peter Hill is indeed enjoying retirement in Sri Lanka. His wife is Sri Lankan.

He was treated like **** by the previous GOSL - fired for an incident in London that got way out of hand. He is owed an apology.

After the way he was treated I doubt he will be back.

Why UL using the new birds such as 4R-ALL and ALM on routs such as HRI, PEK and the Middle East? They Should be using these new birds on Far East and Europe where we have more profitable turnarounds?

Yes and the website hasn't been updated recently, has it? We should maybe see some details fairly soon if there are any management changes.
