Sri Lankan Airlines Seeks Investors Again

News Today: Sri Lankan Airlines Invites Fresh Bids from Investors

The Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Aviation has decided to call for bids from investors for the purchase of Sri Lankan Airlines once again. Airline Secretary K.D.S. Ruwanchandra confirmed that the relevant proposals were submitted to the committee appointed by the Cabinet.

Previously, bids were solicited from both local and foreign investors to purchase Sri Lankan Airlines, but the process was abruptly halted. Despite receiving six bids, only one met the criteria, leading to the decision to restart the bidding process.

This move is part of the government’s ongoing efforts to restructure and revitalize the national carrier, aiming to improve operational efficiency and financial stability. The decision to invite new bids reflects a strategic approach to attract capable investors who can contribute to the airline’s long-term success.

The renewed bidding process is expected to draw significant interest from both domestic and international investors, given the airline’s potential for growth and development. The Ministry is committed to ensuring a transparent and competitive process to select the best possible partners for Sri Lankan Airlines.

This initiative underscores the government’s dedication to enhancing the country’s aviation sector and promoting economic growth. The outcome of this bidding process will be closely watched by industry stakeholders and the general public.
