  • Mahinda Rajapaksa sworn in as new Prime Minister



    What are the changes do you think going to come next for Sri Lanka Aviation? e.g. taking 4 x A350s from Airbus, Re-opening HRI for UL flight operations?

      Definitely yes! HRI would be back in operations in no time

      • You can't run an Airline or a country without money - not sure if the Chinese will help out.

        The flow of money from the IMF may stop.

        I imagine all investigations into Mihin and SriLankan will stop. Nobody will be held accountable.

        Pradeepa Kekulawala's job is safe. You may even see Druvi Perera returning to SriLankan.

        New board and CEO will be appointed in the next few weeks - perhaps Kapila will be back.

        What a huge mess! Hard times ahead by the look of things.
        Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

            So many true points here, and they might happen. Who knows.

              Any possibility Mahinda is planning to resume Chinese flights out of HRI?

                I hope they do. It’s more practical I having the Airport up and running rather than it being a “Ghost Airport”

                Hopefully they can keep fees and surcharges at a minimum to attract foreign carriers and also giving some of them freedom to carry pax form HRI to CMB and vise versa

                    practical for what?
                    There is nothing down there except for a port

                            Just a fancy term for Rules. See below for an example of the document.

                            • Turkish Cargo is increasing the frequency of freighter service to Colombo Airport from 2 to 3 weekly from 29 October 2018.

                              New route

                              IST-CMB-BLR-IST - 1 weekly A33F

                              Already serving

                              IST-KHI-CMB-IST - 1weekly A33F
                              IST-MAA-CMB-IST - 1weekly A33F

                              Good to see TK is taking advantage of the absense of FitsAir cargo.
