[QUOTE="imhotep, post: 25086302, member: 562115"] Running an airline is different to running an apparel factory or a tea business.. AirLanka was started with no real financing. It's similar to someone starting a shop on loan. Place is leased, all goods on loan, including the racks, cash registers etc. You run the shop and you do get a profit by selling the goods. But when you settle all the loan instalments and other outgoings the OPERATIONAL profit reduces to zilch. UL was a similar scenario. Government was injecting funds. Initially it was running at a good operational profit. They had built up some good assets too by clever investment strategies. I am aware of many financial things in UL through trusted internal sources. When CBK sold the airline off a lot of assets just disappeared into a black hole. Money went somewhere else. It's a long story. Many are really of the opinion that Prabha saved the airline with the KIA bombing. Complete mismanagement during the last few years. No point even talking about it. Just a waste of time. One can have some hope. But not me.:oo: Mihin was just another disaster we never needed. Why Mihin? [/QUOTE]
