Sri Lanka Air Lanka

worst carrier of all time - Sri Lanka Forum

Ok, it's my turn, I have traveled 48 flights with SriLankan Airlines/Air Lanka, and NEVER have I ever had anything like a hard period with genuine poster. I' ve always found the crew always exquisite, lucky and courteous, a tribute to the company in comparison to what others are offering! and probably much less rewarded... and I' m picky, and would consider a poor level of customer care if my selected meals were not available, and that doesn't often occur!

At one point one of my needed tax free articles was out of stock, and you know what, the ship's staff was radioing ahead of Columbo and it was awaiting me when I got off the airplane, couldn't be better than what I thought was the wait! Originally the poster experiences'may' coincide with the poor climate we had here in Britain and Europe during the Christmas season, when many Sri Lankan planes were canceled, especially to London, so flight attendants and planes were not where they should perhaps have been, and so flight attendants perhaps flew more planes because their counterparts were trapped elsewhere might certainly account for some fatigue.

In terms of upkeep, Sri Lankan airplanes are not the most advanced in the sky, and they know that and are doing something about it, but they are a representative of Airbus Industries for the upkeep of airplanes in Asia, so I would think that their technology and upkeep is probably as good as it is, and yes, they also upkeep MANY Asia airplanes.

However, this is my part, and will VERY enjoy flying with SriLankan again on my travels to Sri Lanka, they are my preferred carrier to this end.....

Lankan's loss-making air carrier in search of a new purchaser

CO-LOMBO: Sri Lanka's domestic air company will start a new quest for an equity affiliate after the IMF warns that the loss-making air company is pulling the country's economies down, officers said Wednesday (22 August). Governments will demand new calls for interest next week to invest and administer new funds in Sri Lanka after a prospective US investment resigned in May last year.

Efforts to privatize the airline collapsed when San Francisco-based TPG pulled back its offer for a 49% interest in Sri Lanka. In June 2016 the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which supported the US dollar 1.5 billion in loans to the US economy, issued a warning two month ago that the reorganisation of Sri Lankan airline companies was vital for sustainable macroeconomic recovery.

Airlines has debt and loss in excess of $2 billion. Mahinda Rajapakse, when he was Chairman, terminated a leadership contract with Emirates in 2008 after a face-to-face conflict. Airlines had declined to push paid travellers and hand over their seat to the Rajapaksets. Mr Rajapakse took the Emirate-appointed CEO away from Sri Lanka and made his brother-in-law Nishantha Wickremasing CEO of the Group.

Sri Lanka in 2016 canceled an order from the former Sri Lanka authorities to rent four new Airbus A350-900 long-range aircraft after having paid a fine of 115 million US dollars to the leased AerCap family. Governments have said that a new order for four Airbus A350-900s will be negotiated separately. The Rajapakse ordered all eight aircraft under a $2.3 billion program for the carrier, which is now under legal scrutiny.
