According to yesterday's statement from Minister of Aviation Nimal Siripala De Silva, the debt-ridden SriLankan Airlines, as well as SriLankan Catering and SriLankan Airlines Ground Handling, will be subject to restrictions. As no investor would be interested in acquiring SriLankan Airlines alone, he stated that 49% stakes in each of SriLankan Catering and Ground Handling, which are both profitable businesses, would be offered along with SriLankan Airlines for reorganization. He claimed that this action was taken because the government lacked the resources to help the airline pay back the mortgages and loans it had taken out, and because the airline's operations had been severely hampered over the previous few years by the global C-19 pandemic, a decline in tourism, high aviation fuel ...
