4R-ALA has been officially retired from service. Aircraft is grounded and has just a few more flying hours for the ferry and test purposes before being handed over back to the lessor for scrapping. Sad to see her time with UL is done. 23 years of service and it all came to an end on April 1st 2023. -
Sad news ALA is going to be scrapped. It has been a great workhorse for SriLankan all these years. Did she get water salute on her last UL flight?Originally posted by Haleef View PostComment

No water salute. Even the pilots didn't know that she won't be flying again.Originally posted by banuthev View PostComment

Mr Nuttall highlighted that, while he was not against selling off the business, there was still a lot of work to be done to restructure its debt before that can happen.
"If we can structure that debt, then a large part of what we're paying as interest comes back and can be used to run the airline," he said.
"And it means that an outside investor can come in and not pay for the sins of the past."Comment

How about selling to local investors and then for foreign investors, so everybody will be keen to earn profits, and both local & foreign corruption, destabilization could be next to zero. we also do not forget that Emirates is a 5 star carrier because of Air Lanka, despite they flew the airline profitably yet they ruined the Air Lanka brand (believe or not)Originally posted by Serendib View PostComment
