Hon. S.M. Marikkar
Hon. S.M. Marikkar asked, as a supplementary question, how SriLankan Airlines plans to handle previously leased aircraft obtained on costly terms while pursuing new aircraft acquisitions aligned with Government policy. He noted that pre-2014 high-debt acquisitions had burdened the airline and sought clarification on managing those existing liabilities.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 My first supplementary: We discussed this in Committee with SriLankan. We understand the operational need if aligned with Government policy. However, past high-debt acquisitions before 2014 burdened SriLankan. When acquiring such aircraft now, what do you intend to do about previously leased aircraft on costly terms?
