The future of SriLankan Airlines
Daily FT
|February 18, 2026
FEW weeks ago, it was revealed in the Parliament that the national carrier SriLankan Airlines had received 200 applications for the post of Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
-
The NPP administration has made a firm decision to maintain the crisis-ridden airline under State ownership although the entity has been a huge burden to the taxpayers for so many years under Government control.
As per the Government, the ideal candidate should have at least 10 years of senior management experience in a recognised international airline, with a strong grasp of commercial aviation, flight operations, service delivery, engineering and maintenance. The previous CEO of the airline was Richard Nuttall — a British national who steered the airline from 2022 before stepping down last year to assume the role of President of Philippine Airlines. When the airline was under the management control of Emirates Airways, the CEO post was held by Peter Hillanother British citizen.
