In addition, Maldives government,  which lacks a national carrier and due to its limitations of space and  operational capability, had approached SriLankan Airlines seeking  increased routes to a number of European destinations via Male. “I have been informed that Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker has been  to Sri Lanka about this and discussions are ongoing,” an advisor close  to the royal family of Qatar told The Sunday Leader. “SriLankan Airlines has an ambitious but realistic plan. In three  years time we can turn the airline around and make it profitable,”  opined SriLankan Airlines Chairman Ajith Dias, in a previous interaction  with The Sunday Leader.<a href="http://www.thesundayleader.lk/2016/02/14/srilankan-airlines-to-ink-deals-with-qatar-maldives/" target="_blank">http://www.thesundayleader.lk/2016/02/14/srilankan-airlines-to-ink-deals-with-qatar-maldives/</a></blockquote>
