UL says sick cockpit crew member delayed flight to Seoul
SriLankan Airlines today said the flight UL 470 to Seoul was delayed due to one cockpit crew member, who was scheduled for this flight, falling sick.
The flight, which was scheduled to depart at 20:20 on June 20, was delayed overnight.
“Unfortunately, one cockpit crew member who was scheduled for this flight was sick last night, and due to the various regulations for fatigue and safety that govern operating crew, there was no available replacement until the morning of 21 June 2023,” the airline said in a statement.
It also said the airline is working with the Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment and Korean authorities to rebook the passengers scheduled to travel to Seoul for work on the next earliest flight.
The airline said its flight schedule to South Korea is primarily based on supporting the travel needs of migrant workers, and has been collaborating closely with the Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment since April 2022.
