Vipula Gunathilake and Sugath Rajapakse have stepped down from the Board of Directors of SriLankan Airlines following a government request to leave their positions. Both were members of the first government-appointed board under Chairman Sarath Ganegoda, who resigned last March.
The remaining board members are government officials, including Chairman A.K.D.D. Dimal Arandara, Herath Banda and Niluka Madampe.
A new appointment to the SriLankan Airlines Board of Directors is expected to be made next week, according to reports.
