Sri Lankan airlines need to stop political interference in recruitments, procurement, and management if it needs to see end of the tunnel. It also needs strong Financial management.

From the air line point of view, it is like jumping into the fire from the frying pan. We know how Softlogic rose !

How can one person be the chair of a thriving public company and a dead entity where he is required full time if it is to come out of present problems?

They asked educated people to apply for top government jobs, now filling jobs at high speed giving them to cronies and election fund donors. Please don't hoodwink innocent public and expatriate Sri Lankans.

Good but First he has to show that his own can turn in to profit as last few years it has been negative and poor share holders are at a bad wicket

Congratulations on your appointment. The national career needs an energetic person like you to streamline affairs of the establishment. Trust you will be able to get the airline to where it was during the Emirates days.

Need Industry specific knowledge to manage a Airline. It is not like running (managing) a Departmental Store.
