I guess it will take a crash before any action is taken - with the way things are being run that's just a matter of time imho.

I agree that a name change would work as MJ already has a significantly horrible brand value and reputation, therefore a name change would be the best so that it can be operated similar to FlyScoot the budget subsidiary of SQ
Names like FlyColombo and SriLankan Express could be ideal- Aaqib Hussain

Rakhita Jayawardena named as Sri Lankan Airlines Chief Executive Officer.
Is he good enough for this role? I thought UL will recruit someone with previous management-experience in Aviation.
SRI LANKA. In big breaking news, inflight retail pioneer Rakhita Jayawardena has been named as the new Director and Chief Executive Officer of Sri Lankan Airlines and its sister airline Mihin Lanka.
Speaking to The Moodie Report at the TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition in Singapore today, Jayawardena said: “The Chairman and the board of directors of Sri Lankan Airlines recognised the depth of inflight experience I had and as a result asked if I would be willing to step in and help them through an important period of transition for the company.”
Jayawardena confirmed he has taken up the role, effective immediately, on a voluntary, unpaid basis. Speaking about the decision he said: “It was a very conscious decision, I wanted to instill in all members of Sri Lankan Airlines staff one clear mission – Red to Black, every single cent saved is a single cent earned and that begins with my example.”
Antares Cheng, Chairman of King Power Group (HK), who works closely with Jayawardena on the inflight retail company King Power Traveler, commented: "This is a tremendous honour for Rakhita. But, equally importantly, the manner in which he has taken up this role is a reflection of his wish to serve the country he loves at a time of need."
We'll bring you more details and comment soon. In the meantime you can hear Rakhita Jayawardena's reaction to the news by clicking on The Moodie Report Podcast icon on this page.

As Anthonylk says its a temporary role, and they are looking for a Full time CEO and Chief Commercial Officer to take over- he says ads have already been placed in this regard.
Would love to have been a fly on the wall in that room. I bet you they begged TC to get EK to buy back its old stake in UL. His reaction probably would've been two words starting with F and O.Last edited by lordvader; 14-05-2015, 10:49 AM.Comment
