While stating that Airport & Aviation Services Sri Lanka (AASL) is strongly committed to generating much needed foreign exchange to the country to support its economy, it was revealed in a statement that over USD 10,000.00 would have been generated for Sri Lanka from the recent movement of a private jet through Colombo International Airport, Ratmalana.
The aircraft being referred to is the same one which sparked several rumours of Basil Rajapaksa leaving the country.
It also mentioned that USD 3750.00 for refueling from Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) and USD 2,260.00 was generated as revenue for AASL. This is in addition to the handling charges by the local agent and ground arrangements for the passengers.
