The new Board of Directors at cash-strapped Srilankan Airlines chaired by veteran banker and one-time public servant Ranjith Fernando will assume office tomorrow (Tuesday).
“Yes we have been appointed and taking over tomorrow,” Mr. Fernando confirmed to TimesOnline on Monday evening.
The other directors are Mano Tittawella, Susantha Katugampala, Dr. Roshan Perera and Air Marshal Kapila Jayampathi. The earlier board chaired by Ajit Dias stepped down last November but were asked to remain in office till a new board of directors was constituted.
One of the directors, when congratulated, responded jokingly: “I don’t know whether it should be congratulations or deepest sympathies”. He was referring to the parlous state of the national carrier which is snowed under debt and struggling to find a foreign partner over he past two years to take over the airline plus part or all of its debt. – ENDS -
