The Hon. Kins Nelson
Kins Nelson asked the Deputy Minister what steps are being taken to recover approximately Rs. 22 billion in embarkation levy owed by SriLankan Airlines to the Civil Aviation Authority. He noted that the levy is paid by passengers and constitutes government revenue rather than airline income.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, my first Supplementary Question is this.
¶ 02 Hon. Deputy Minister, SriLankan Airlines has to pay the Civil Aviation Authority an amount close to Rs. 22 billion as embarkation levy. This is not revenue earned by SriLankan Airlines; it is paid by passengers arriving in Sri Lanka. It is revenue due to the Government. What action are you taking to recover this amount due to the Government?
