        How about some arrests and prosecutions as well?

        Pradeepa Kekulawala continues to be employed despite evidence against him. I am one of those that have provided this evidence. Not hearsay - but signed letters and e-mails.

        Who is protecting him?

            I notice they conveniently leave out the cost - this wouldn't have been cheap!

                Etihad Cargo is still serving CMB and LCK via Milan, the schedule shows, means they never left or resumed after a short break.

                  The national carrier's bonds are rated at the same level as its parent, the state of Sri Lanka, due to the unconditional and irrevocable guarantee provided by the state.
                  Lol - anybody believe this nonsense? Anybody holding this junk deserves what's coming to them imho.



                  More racketeering - these people are obviously protected. As usual nobody is accountable.

                  As I've repeatedly stated - SriLankan doesn't resemble a Business in any way.

                      Good competition for UL and Thai AirAsia!
                      No wonder UL has slashed their fares to BKK to 30K (inclusive of taxes)

                        Jet Airways Flight To Colombo Returns To Mumbai Due To Technical Snag

                        A Colombo-bound Jet Airways flight returned to the Mumbai airport due to some technical reasons on Tuesday, the airline said.

                        "The commander of the flight 9W 252, which departed from Mumbai for Colombo on Tuesday executed a turn back and landed safely in Mumbai," Jet Airways said in a statement.

                        It was necessitated due to technical reasons for which investigation was being carried out, it added.

                        Jet Airways has arranged for an alternative aircraft with a revised departure time for the passengers to travel to Colombo, it said.

                        Guests are being looked after at the Mumbai airport in the interim, the airline added.

                          It's a big mistake UL have cancelled HKG and reduced the BKK flights from 21 to 17 weekly.

                          UIA Ukraine Airlines is going to discontinue flights to Colombo effect 31 March 2019.

                            Not if they are losing money on them.

                            Judging by the ongoing massive losses there are no profitable routes. Whenever some UL representative is wheeled out to talk more "Big Talk BS" they never talk about this.

                            As discussed previously the high lease costs and contracts without a termination clause means that it is impossible to make money operating flights.

                            It costs money to operate flights - this is a company that is running out of money. More cuts seem likely imho.

                                Sad to know that UIA are terminating operations, probably due to the fact that Azur Air Ukraine are to commence operations in the near future. Lets hope that they too operate their iconic Boeing 767's to CMB similar to what UIA did
