This should've happened ages ago. Finally, UL will have a bit of a breather. -
Anyone know where Kapila is? He has a lot of explaining to do....Originally posted by abhijith16 View Post
Sad to see that the COO is still in place - he's one of the former President's loyal men.
End of HRI flights is a positive development.Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this businessComment

well some one need to come up with a US $300 million cheque. Suspension of UL flights to HRI will give some space to UL and Ceylon Petroleum Corporation as well.Originally posted by budgetcarrier View Post
HRI is extremely difficult to maintain at current income level. Income even does not cover loan repayment + interest dues. Then there is the operational costs. HRI is heavily subsidized by CMB airport's monopoly income.
in the short term. it would be wise to sell this asset and recover some money (If there is a buyer). probably to a foreign entity or request SLAF to buy it and move out its lodger squadrons from SLAF Katunayake. SLAF can partially fund the purchase by selling SLAF Katunayake land to AASL. Where AASL can use that land to its expansion purpose. i.e. second runway. AASL can finance the the purchase by Second Runway construction project. SLAF also can sell SLAF Weerawila and make the HRI the primary Air Defence & Search and Rescue (SAR) airport for the south.
HRI is a classic example of a pork barrel politics. I think I could use this project as a thesis for my MBA
Finally where are the apologists???Last edited by Speedbird; 16-01-2015, 08:30 PM.Comment

Think that was him near the door when the Pope was disembarking in Manila? If so, guessing he might still be around? Any ideas as to when a new chairman will be appointed at this stage?Originally posted by ejanson65 View Post
Thats a good idea. SLAF could have some use for it. Either them or if a large MRO could be convinced to use it as a facility, it might work. Some outside the box thinking must be conducted here.Originally posted by Speedbird View PostLast edited by lordvader; 16-01-2015, 09:43 PM.Comment

MRO is one great idea, if they can rope in the right people to partnerOriginally posted by 4R-ADA View Post
Plus, SLAF can relocate there, and relieve the space in CMB, to build a second parallel runway
Of course, HRI can be used to shuttle in charter flights, for tourists, with a discounted landing fee ..Comment

True...the SLAF Base on the other side of the runway wastes a lot of usuable space. But i dont think they have any plans for a parallel runway,,, didnt see it even in the Phase 2 Stage II development planOriginally posted by ecureilx View PostComment
