@banuthev
You are quoting a post from 16 months ago - old news.
Lol- re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic SriLankan style!
Pilots were also fighting among themselves over who got to fly the A350.
A350 training started but my info is that it has now been stopped (A350's are not coming).
In a few months it looks there won't be a lounge to fight over or an Airline for that matter!
Ajith Dias leaving - don't buy it unless he knows the place is close to shutting down. No Chairman wants a company to fail while they are in office - so they quit and blame someone else! He's got a nice job with a big paycheck and nice perks - doesn't have to do anything for it. He'll hang on to that as long as possible.
Ajith Dias is there to maintain the staus quo - everyone can keep on doing what they've been doing!Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this businessComment

Emirates cancelling CMB - SIN; Emirates operated this route for years; I believe at least since early 90s. Does the cancellation has anything to do with recent incident with Speaker?
Airlineroute reporting as follows;
Emirates in this week’s inventory update has closed reservation for Colombo – Singapore sector, as the airline displaying zero availability in all class of service for travel on/after 06JAN17. Currently this route is operated by Boeing 777-300ER aircraft on daily basis. Planned schedule in W16 as follow.

EK349 SIN0030 – 0140CMB 77W DComment

What incident? Please tell me more.
When I read the news, first I thought EK is cancelling CMB-SIN route due to CMB runway closure in the day time between Jan-Apr. But I cant see EK operating CMB-SIN route after May & June. I thought EK doing well on this route? Any chance EK's partner airline QF operating SYD-SIN-CMB?Comment

Hopefully some good news at last. Pobably they are the only applicants.. mabye the cancelling of the port city suspension fine goodwill gesture and other loans from China prompted some backroom negotiations with the attractive assets (however debt ridden they maybe) as predicted.
Having a Chinese firm managing would be also good news for UL as the government will not interfere as the Chinese are going to have a grip on the balls for quite some time to come....
I sincerely hope other state enterprises such as the railways and transport board are given to the Chinese too.Comment

On a quest to find a strategic investor to help revive the loss-making national carrier, it is learnt that the government is close to finding a prospective partner to manage SriLankan Airlines. Informed sources told Mirror Business that the firm likely to come on board to manage the debt-laden carrier would be China’s largest privately-owned air transport firm, Hainan Airlines Company Limited (HNA).Comment
