■スリランカからのニュース（３）
We are assuming this airline at a time when large numbers of competitive airlines have come up in the region, also, at a time when the global economy has to face lot of challenges.
Fuel prices are skyrocketing at global markets. It affects all airlines in the world. Also, food prices are going up today. The world most wicked terrorists in our country are dieing hard to disrupt our air travel. By carrying out several attacks at our national airport they attempted to stop aircraft coming into the country, the attempt was to isolate us from the rest of the world.
It is under this situation that we are taking over the responsibility to run this airline. I believe this responsibility is not too much for us. Having won the east we are now getting ready to win north. This is a time that we are offering democratic rights to the people in the East. Also we have achieved a huge economic growth. I would like to remind that the terrorists attacked this airport itself at several instances; that labeled themselves as the world most ruthless terrorists are now coming to their knees.
Meanwhile, even before such serious challenges, we have not changed a letter of the Mahinda Chinthana. Please look at the giant leap that we have taken from separation of North and East, to abrogation of Cease-fire agreement, to fighting drugs, to ensuring democracy in the East. Nobody has even thought of taking such serious decisions. Those are the real challenges in the political world.
Whilst facing such challenges we have been able to make Sri Lanka one of the countries with lowest unemployment rate and to maintain an economic growth of approximately 7%. It has been above 6% during that three years. This is the fist time that we had such situation after independence. Please do not underestimate these. We have been able to make the per capita income to 1600 US dollars.
For country that overcoming such challenges this challenge is not too much at all. Therefore, now take up this challenge with the new management. Now , it is you who have the responsibility.
Now, there is no outsider to be blamed if the airline fails before the world. We have to accept both the challenge and the blame.
Sri Lankan Airline must show the pride of our country. But do not make it inaccessible to the common people of the country. Even majority of our people living in rural villages are now becoming aircraft passengers at least for few hours in their lives. The opportunities to overseas travel are so abundant. Hospitality should be equally offered to foreigners and the locals as well. Public servant when using Sri Lankan Airlines should be given special prices. Now we have made it mandatory for public servants to use Sri Lanka Airlines when going aboard. We should give a better service to the people of our own country.
Today when your destiny is given to your own hands, the trade unions too have a vital role to play. Do not think that Trade Unions are only there to win rights for the employees. Those trade Unions that had rally their protests when selling these institutions must have a responsibility to protect them when they are being given back. They should give their support to leverage this airline to one of the best in the world.
