Guys i've read a news about Airbus is going to donate (I'm not sure about that) 24 helicopter for Sri Lanka for air ambulance purposes.. is it true?Comment

At the current financial situation. I have my doubts about the the viability...even badly managed airlines like PIA and AI makes money on that routes. But UL does not have any cash or capital for that investmentOriginally posted by banuthev View Post
AC is not interested...they are happy with DEL and DXBComment

According to the article, this is coming from the most unreliable mouth piece of the regime. Highly doubt this, but will be delighted if this really is genuine.Originally posted by Sandaru View PostComment

Good news if its true. But what benefits Airbus and Benz will get by supplying free Helicopters and Vehicles to Sri Lanka?Originally posted by Cayman View Post
Does Sri Lanka currently have air ambulance service in the country? Can I know registration for those helicopters please?Comment

The third paragraph of the article says it will be funded by a soft loan. So its not free. Benz and Airbus will benefit by making a sale and building a relationship with the government.Originally posted by banuthev View Post
Actually now that I read the article a second time I think it meant to say that the service will be free for patients.Last edited by lordvader; 19-05-2017, 10:49 AM.Comment

Can anyone explain me why we need 24 helicopters for a tiny nation like sri lanka. A significantly lesser number would have been practical. On top of this, if this is provided via a soft loan then this again would merely be burden for the taxpayer.Originally posted by Sandaru View PostComment
