The Government has extended the closing date of Expressions of Interest for the national carrier Sri Lankan Airlines.
By about end of September or October we will collect the EOIs. Once we go through them, we are planning to have discussions with the potential partners by January next year for the restructure of Sri Lankan Airlines. Public Enterprise Development Ministry ran adverts in national newspapers last month calling for EOI in the national carrier. The ministry anticipates more offers apart from the eight they already got.
