SriLanka's renationalization has been somewhat of a disaster, with the airline continuing to incure operating losses. Its fleet is aging and the inflight entertainment systems rather outdated. It is also being compelled to incorporate another loss-making state-run government airline, Mihin Air. So at this juncture, I am not sure what value addition this will bring to OW, except, of course, a few more routing options to India, Maldives and Sri Lanka.
