I believe there are enough grounds to think they might turn out to be true. I don't know, but there are definitely so many things, so many strange coincidences, so many things have happened that shouldn't have happened that there are enough grounds to believe that something is wrong here. Very, very wrong.

Our main concern is passengers and crew at the moment.

By introducing double daily services, we are building on that advantage by offering our customers a choice of flights that provide even more connections to our rapidly expanding network.

It's been a long process to try to make the Daily Express into a newspaper that really does have a firm, and good, set of beliefs that people are aware of.

Total traffic revenue, from passengers and cargo, is up 10 percent in the first five months and we should be able to hold that figure for the rest of the year. With our efforts to cut costs, the company should make a small profit this year as well.

Sri Lankan's presence in the United States has already established an advantage for us over our competitors to the increasingly important markets in South Asia.

This year we aren't growing the fleet but are working the planes harder. For the airline, everything is dependent on what happens to fuel.

People were very proud of it and very complimentary, genuinely so. It has given us a greater sense of purpose than perhaps we had before.
