Some more from current investigation...
SriLankan airlines former senior air hostess, Yasantha Naomi Alwis informed the Presidential Commission of Inquiry (PCoI) on irregularities at SriLankan that she had to resign from the permanent staff in 2012 because of the pressure imposed by the company’s Human Resources Division over her pregnancy. ..
Brave of her to come forward - Pradeepa is obviously being protected by Corrupt Politicians.
Instead of sending an A330 to Mubai how about some house cleaning?
Pradeepa may not be HHR anymore but he's still in the company.Last edited by ejanson65; 20-04-2019, 02:06 PM.Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

Air India puts off launch of Mumbai-Colombo flight
Air India has deferred the launch of its Mumbai-Colombo-Mumbai flight after the serial bomb blasts in the Sri Lankan capital on Sunday. The five-times a week non-stop flight was to be launched on May 1 using an Airbus aircraft.
In a communication to travel agents sent out on Wednesday, the state-owned airline said that in view of disruptions at Colombo, AI 275/276 Mumbai-Colombo Mumbai flight “stands cancelled” between May 1 and May 31. Over 350 people of various nationalities, including Indians, were killed in the blasts.
The airline’s daily connection between Delhi and Colombo continues to operate and on Thursday it was about 90 minutes late in leaving Delhi.
Sources in SpiceJet said that they will continue to operate their flights from Madurai and Chennai to Colombo adding that passenger load on these flights was doing okay. They declined to say how many passengers were travelling to Colombo.
Dutch to fly tourists home from Sri Lanka within days
AFP - Hundreds of Dutch tourists will be flown home in the coming days from Sri Lanka in the wake of the Easter bombings, according to the guarantee scheme governing Dutch tour operators.
Following the attacks, which killed 253 people, around 500 Dutch visitors who remain in Sri Lanka will be flown home "within days," the director of the Calamiteitenfonds group said Friday.
"We are currently in consultations with affiliated organisations," said Erik Jan Reuvere, whose fund acts as insurer and coordinator for tour operators in times of crisis.
"We estimate between 400 and 500 people are travelling in Sri Lanka under our guarantee," Reuvere told AFP. He said they would be flown home either on scheduled flights or a "probable" charter operated by the TUI group on Monday.
The repatriation comes after the Dutch foreign ministry late Thursday recommended only essential trips be made to the island, citing the potential danger of further attacks by fugitive terrorists.
The ministry warned the security situation on the island remained "unpredictable and uncertain".
Sri Lanka has announced a pay hike for its army, navy and air force personnel ahead of presidential elections later this month.

China Southern is downgrading the frequency of Colombo flights from 3 to 1 weekly and Air India is postponing the Mumbai-Colombo launch to July. Shame the terrorist attacks have really affected the Sri Lanka Aviation. Any chance KLM & LOT are operating Colombo flights in Winter 2019?
