COLOMBO (News 1st); Sri Lanka Airlines has refuted information regarding the possible cancellation of a host of Srilankan Airlines flights due to the ongoing fuel shortage in the country.

The Airline, while denying the said report, confirms that it had been able to manage its flight schedule with suitable adjustments for over a week, despite shortages. 

The flight schedule changes have been necessary to manage the relevant circumstances, with the introduction of changes made to the timing and duration of select flights, in addition to the tech stops in select foreign airports for fuel tankering purposes.

However, Srilankan Airlines state that it continues to operate its flight schedule close to 100% efficiency despite impediments.
