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?

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."
