See.. Other than nut cases everything is fine. Remove politics and have a good strategy, SriLankan can make profits in no time.

Some good news about our national carrier. Its a good airline with good staff but unfortunately with bad management. It is very much like the country and the government. Good country with good talented people but with very bad leaders to manage. Very sad.

If you reduce the number of flights in the fleet some more and appoint another political appointee to the top post and pay him a huge USD salary we can bag all awards including the biggest loss in the industry.

When I flew few weeks ago they were announcing at the airport that you will not be boarded if you did not reach 20 minutes before departure time, as Sri Lankan wants to improve its punctuality. Though this looks a minor points, such small changes in passenger dynamics will help more international passengers to shift to Sri Lankan. Although I have many negatives been a frequent flyer, this to me is a good initiative.

If not for the crimes committed on this national asset by our former 'king' . This airline would be the best in the region!
