Sri Lanka’s President Anura Disanayake has met officials of SriLankan Airlines to discuss proposals “to transform SriLankan Airlines into a more profitable state-owned enterprise”, including debt management and investment opportunities, his media division said.
“Special attention was also given to possible short-term and long-term solutions for the airline’s debt management.”
The talks explored new investment opportunities for the airline, the PMD said.
Disanayake reportedly instructed the officials “to take all necessary steps to transform SriLankan Airlines into a profit-making entity”.
The airline remains one of the leading loss-making state enterprises.
The current government has decided to reverse the previous administration’s decision to privatize the airline. (Economy Next)
