Pullout of Emirates from managing SriLankan Airlines Sri Lanka Tourism assures no cause for alarm
SLT,
in a statement yesterday, said that, “There is no cause for
alarm for stakeholders of SLT, as it is expected that normal operations
will continue and we expect the transfer of management from
the Emirates to the major shareholder, to be smooth, with minimum
impact on tourism operations. We also expect the focus on the destination
to be even more now and request all our partners to be confident
and work in tandem with the Airline, to assist in a smooth management
transition process,” the statement said. According
to the statement, there is a high degree of competence at various
levels of the management of SriLankan Airlines that Emirates has
helped develop under its management. “We also look forward to seeing a filling up of any gaps that may exist as a result of the expiry of the agreement and believe that it will be to meet the needs of ensuring that key competencies are all intact. Emirates has also announced that it will hold its shareholder interest in SriLankan Airlines beyond the expiry of the period of the Management Agreement and it is indicative of the confidence Emirates has on the potential and the future of SriLankan Airlines which has won many accolades in the recent past,” the statement added.
