SriLankan Airlines says operating close to 100% efficiency

SriLankan Airlines said yesterday that it continues to operate flight schedule close to 100% of efficiency despite any impediments and the operational implications of schedule revisions. 

The national carrier was responding to what it described as certain false information circulating about the possible cancellation of a host of SriLankan Airlines’ flights due to the ongoing fuel shortage in Sri Lanka. 

“SriLankan Airlines vehemently denies the accuracy of such information and confirms that it has been able to manage its flight schedule with suitable adjustments for over a week now, since the fuel shortage peaked in Sri Lanka. Flight schedule changes that have been necessary to manage the prevailing circumstances include changes to the timing and duration of certain flights with the introduction of tech stops in select foreign airports for fuel tankering purposes,” the airline said. 

SriLankan Airlines also reassured customers that the airline remains at their service and is making every reasonable effort to operate with minimum interruptions to scheduled flight operations at this critical juncture.
