Ground staff protest leads to delays in SriLankan Airlines flights at BIA

Date:

February 25, Colombo (LNW): Several SriLankan Airlines flights experienced delays at Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) this (25) morning due to a temporary cessation of duties by ground staff, local correspondents said.

The ground staff reportedly ceased their duties at 4:30 AM, leading to delays in at least four SriLankan flights.

However, operations resumed after approximately two and a half hours following discussions prompted by authorities.

The protest was reportedly initiated by airport workers seeking prompt resolutions to perceived inefficiencies within SriLankan Airlines.
