        Since 4R-MRD is not flying for past few days, MJ is operating A332 (4R-ALH) to DAC

                    It should have been disbanded years ago! Ever since its inception it has been a failure, However if it should remain as a LCC for Sri Lanka it should be managed by a Private company or another airline and not be a subsidiary of UL that's for sure.

                      It should have been a no frills LCC such as AirAsia, Ryanair, Easyjet. No point in having it as another full service carrier that competes with UL.

                        • SriLankan to go regional. One error in story; it was A330s that were leased to PIA.

                          Namini Wijedasa extensive interview with the debt ridden national carrier's CEO In a marked departure from the previous management’s business strategy


                          In a marked departure from the previous management’s business strategy for the national carrier, SriLankan Airlines will focus on becoming a regional carrier flying mostly narrow-bodied aircraft, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Suren Ratwatte said.

                          He also admitted that finding capital to run the airline was his biggest headache; that arrangements have been made for a voluntary retirement scheme (VRS) for staff; and that SriLankan’s credit rating (defined as an estimate of the ability of a person or organisation to fulfil their financial commitments, based on previous dealings) was “not very good”.

                          Mr. Ratwatte declined from the outset to discuss financial issues covered by non-disclosure agreements. Therefore, he would not–despite being pressed–reveal how much was paid to abrogate leases on three A350s ordered by the previous Government.

                                Somebody should ask Suren Ratwatte where the annual report is - still nothing.

                                My guess is that the financial picture is much worse than what is publicly being admitted and they don't want this getting out.

                                The only question I have after reading this article is: Why is this Airline still operating?
                                Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business
