SriLankan refutes facilitating VIP flight from London to Colombo

SriLankan Airlines yesterday rejected social media posts that it had facilitated a VIP flight to bring down stranded siblings of VIPs from London to Colombo.

‘"It is completely untrue and misleading. In view of ensuring utmost convenience and comfort of its valued passengers irrespective of the prevailing circumstances, the Airline will be operating to London predominantly to facilitate the travel of tourists intending to return to the UK,” it said in a statement.

SriLankan Airlines requested the people not to be deceived by such false news items and refrain from sharing or posting such contents generated through unofficial and unverified sources, specially at a time the country and the rest of the world are taking every effort to fight the COVID 19 pandemic.
