Australia Donates Royal Australian Air Force Aircraft to Sri Lanka to Enhance Maritime Security

In a significant gesture of cooperation, the Australian Government has generously gifted a former Royal Australian Air Force aircraft to Sri Lanka. The official handover took place when Australian High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, Paul Stephens, presented a letter from Australian Minister of Home Affairs, Clare O’Neil, to President Ranil Wickremesinghe, offering the Beechcraft KA350 aircraft.

The Beechcraft KA350 King Air, a modern twin-engine turboprop aircraft, holds immense value in bolstering Sri Lanka’s capacity to safeguard its maritime security. This generous donation not only enhances Sri Lanka’s capabilities but also showcases the strong collaboration between the two nations in combatting transnational crime.

High Commissioner Paul Stephens expressed his satisfaction with this initiative, emphasizing its significance in a tweet on Friday (12). The aircraft gift underscores the commitment of both Australia and Sri Lanka to strengthen regional security cooperation and promote mutual interests.

The acquisition of the Beechcraft KA350 will undoubtedly contribute to Sri Lanka’s efforts in protecting its maritime boundaries, ensuring the safety and security of its waters, and further enhancing its defense capabilities.
