There is a risk that the fuel supply to the aircraft will be disrupted due to the fuel crisis. According to the Director of Operations at the airport and the airline, the remaining jet fuel will be sufficient for another five days only.
Shehan Sumanasekera, Director of Operations, says that aircraft arriving in Sri Lanka for refueling will have to be diverted to airports in India, Maldives, Singapore and other countries in the region.
Due to this crisis, there is a risk of foreign airlines operating flights with Sri Lanka moving to other countries to obtain jet fuel.
