Emirates ends Lanka Partnership

Emirates Airlines has announced that it will not renew its management contract with Sri Lanka's national carrier after March this year.
Emirates owns a 43% stake in Sri Lankan Airlines and runs it under an agreement with the Sri Lankan government.

The pull-out announcement follows a row over ticketing between the chief executive of Sri Lankan Airlines and the Sri Lankan government in December.

I suppose politics played a major part in this.
Thats the sub-continent way of doing things

Many started using SriLankan after the management takeover by Emirates.

NOw its just a question of wait and watch to see whther the performance is going to go downhill or not
