        why no water cannon ? Well, in a nearby Air field, most Fire Trucks have been changed to only have Compressed Air Foam, and that is not going to do any good to a aircraft engine They do have a couple of old firetrucks, just for Water Cannon ..

        BTW, some time ago, a plane landed in a nearby airport, and the water cannon went a bit haywire and there was a flamout .. yes, Water Cannons are not to be considered as so simple

        Dont' ask me the logic of a plane being able to fly in severe bad weather, but flames out .. when a water cannon salute goes wrong

          Sri Lankan Airlines sets ambitious plans

          Sri Lankan Airlines’ chairman is hopeful the airline can become the ‘preferred carrier in Asia’ within three years’ time as it gears up to join the oneworld alliance.

          The carrier will also be focused on its entry into the oneworld airline alliance for the most part of 2014; expecting to join in March or April once the lengthy joining process is completed.

          Along the way chairman Nishantha Wickremasinghe hopes all its services can operate on a daily basis at minimum and will continue to update its fleet.

          “Sri Lanka Airlines has come a long way and should be the preferred airline in Asia in three years’ time,” he told Travel Daily. “Business is growing and the UK and European markets are better than what they were.”

          Sri Lankan Airlines will also continue to use its name to promote charities in its home country.

          The airline has recently helped out cricketer Ian Botham on his walk across the country for charity, which, when speaking to Wickremasinghe last week, had raised more than GBP31,000.

          The airline also launched a new book with proceeds going to whale and dolphin conservation charities.
