Did 4R-ALQ come back to CMB 22 feb as UL168 as yesterdays NRT and today early morning to LHR are all delayed over 4 hours - I'm assuming is because 4R-ALQ is still in COK (due to some tech issue?)Comment

A350 is a great aircraft. Having spacious cabin and having able to operate long range SriLankan Airlines would have offer a great service to passengers while keeping European destinations and making the routes profitable. But for the politicians none of those benefits matter. Getting their revenge over opposition at whatever the cost it takes is more important for them. SriLankan Airlines is really in a very sad situation.Originally posted by ejanson65 View PostComment

really? profitable you say??? Well if the ordered aircraft could be profitable then why do you think UL could not sublease them???Originally posted by Serendib View Post
If UL would have taken the aircraft they would be stuck with UL for 15 Years
Issue is not Aircraft...issue is the cost at which is been ordered
If UL could not make any profit on A332 (which are extremely lower least cost compared to A350s) on FRA and CDG...how does A350 which are more expensive to operate would generate profit???Last edited by Speedbird; 25-02-2018, 01:02 PM.Comment

People are still making the mistake of thinking UL is a Business. It does not resemble a Business in any way.Originally posted by Serendib View Post
It's not a simple matter of changing a few staff and/or getting a few different aircraft and everything will suddenly turn profitable. There is no way out of the hole they've dug for themselves.
It is impossible for UL to ever make money - it makes no difference what they do.
That is why the IMF will have this shut down in the next few months.Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this businessComment

Most of the statements are somewhat correct or mostly lies. Shameless person. Why can't he grow up and stop saying lies? I don't think that he will ever resign from his position, except only to sit and talk. There is not much improvement in SriLankan at all even after so much talk. The airline is still sturggling in a bad state, as many of you know.Originally posted by Serendib View Post
Wonder how long will this be going on for.Comment

The only European destination that justifies being kept is London, the rest were money losers, getting a bigger aircraft will only make matters worse.Originally posted by Serendib View Post
If European destinations such as FRA and CDG were such a success we would have had airlines clamouring to fill the gap vacated by UL.Comment

The whole thing has reached the point of absurdity; The government wanted a committee to scrutinize why the EK management failed before the election (I am sure a small child can tell anyone what happened), Now they want a committee to scrutinize the Nyras restructuring proposals. Who in this committee is going to have super expertise beyond the restructuring experts advice? Mr. Ratwatte perhaps?Originally posted by Haleef View PostComment

You have to read the article several times.Originally posted by Haleef View Post
Suren chooses his words very carefully. A lot of half truths, omissions and outright lies.
Pretty standard for Suren - sadly the journalist doesn't try to pin him down and no mention of his termination by the Board. Or his Rs 10 Million Bonus. Would be nice to know if he got it.
The whole thing looks carefully scripted - nothing but propaganda imho.
I get it that as CEO you need to put a positive spin on everything - but the way Suren does things destroys his credibility .
According to the papers April is the deadline - was also mentioned in Ajith Dias's letter to all the staff in December.Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this businessComment
