    He also assume that Oil prices are low...Today it is 3 year high...WTI trading at $63 and Brent trading at $69.

    Problem with UL is the number 7000 and accumulated loses.

    opinion is not more than politically motivated write up.
    Agree with you 100%.

          Don't forget:-

          The impossiblity to make money operationally due to the high leasing costs.

          Forward liabilities of at least $2 Billion (losses over the remaining terms of the leases + 4 A350 that still need to be paid for).

          Not sure why this "re-structuring" keeps coming up - they've already tried to change the terms of the leases and cancel the 4 remaining A350. I imagine those were very short meetings!
          Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

            Those remaining A350s due to come in 2020 are cancelled or are to be cancelled or will UL take them?

                However, SriLankan Airlines is doing a reduction in the frequency of flights to other destinations. Kunming is going to be terminated, Flights to Gan and Seychelles are going to be reduced from four flights a week to three flights a week from early March 2018.

                In Summer 2018, SriLankan continuing to operate Single Daily flights to Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Dhaka, Guangzhou, Jakarta, Jeddah, Karachi, Kuwait, London, Madurai, Melbourne, Muscat, Riyadh, and Trivandrum. Chennai is handling most of the SriLankan Airlines flights after SriLankan's hub Colombo as SriLankan is operating five daily flights to Chennai. SriLankan Airlines is flying 27 flights to Male', Three Daily flights to both Bankok and Singapore, Double Daily flights to Bengaluru, Delhi, Kuala Lumpur, Mumbai, and Trichy.

                  The press keeps getting this wrong:-

                  1 order for 4 A350 via Aercap. Order cancelled and 3 out of 4 built. These aircraft are parked in Toulouse.

                  1 order for 4 A350 directly from airbus. This is still pending (U$ 800 million still to be paid). Unclear how much has already been paid.

                  Attempts have been made to cancel/change this order - no results. The only thing that makes sense is that this order once again has no termination clause.

                  What is needed are arrests - not another Commission!

                  There have to be signed documents at the UL office with names on them - good place to start!

                      Wow. I hope something good happens, or else UL will fall back to square one paying more and more money.

                        • Can you believe this?

                          The license of the helicopter pilot who had lost the way to the runway of the Palali Airport with Minister Mahinda Amaraweera onboard has been suspended.
                          It was found that the pilot had lost his way and was heading towards Thalai Mannar.

                            It's in Indonesia flying for Aviasindo Perkasa as PK-ICF. It still has FitsAir's words "friend in the skies".
