■スリランカからのニュース（３）
スリランカのナショナルフラッグ「スリランカ航空」の経営権に関する記事です。アラブ首長国連邦の航空会社の「Ｅｍｉｒａｔｅs」は１９９７年にスリランカ航空の株式をスリランカ政府から購入し、株主間契約書を締結して同会社の経営権を握ってきました。その株主間契約書が２００８年３月３１日に失効して、経営権がスリランカ政府に移管され、下記（二番目の記事）のような人事が発令されたのでした。
会長は大蔵次官のＤｒ.ジャヤスンデラ氏、役員の中にラリット・デ・シルバ氏の名前が見えます。両氏ともスリランカテレコム関連の仕事で面識があります。彼等はテレコムに加えて、航空キャリアの経営に参画することになります。
実は日本のＮＴＴがスリランカテレコムに参画したのが１９９７年でした。そして昨日の記事のように２００８年４月１日に全株式をマレーシアの通信会社に譲渡したのでした。航空業界のスリランカ航空（かつてのエアランカ）も同様に１９９７年に一部の株式を「Ｅｍｉｒａｔｅｓ」に譲り、同じ１０年間の間海外の会社に経営を任せてきたのでした。
「スリランカエアー」の場合、この１０年間は非常に複雑なものがあったようです。とにかくスリランカでは政権が変わると、前の政権の政策は徹底的に批判されます。しかし当事者同士の正規な契約は変えることができません。そのことが下の大統領の挨拶に現れています。
この二つの会社の１０年目の経営変更については身近に見てきただけに非常に感慨深いものがあります。
Emirates looks to sell SriLankan air stake (6 Jan 2008)
DUBAI (Reuters) - Emirates airline said it is looking to sell all or part its stake in state-controlled SriLankan Airlines after the South Asian island's government sought greater control over the carrier's day-to-day business.
Dubai-based Emirates, which owns 43.6 percent of SriLankan and whose 10-year management contract of the carrier expires in April, would value its stake it about $150 million, Emirates President Tim Clark told Reuters on Sunday.
"It's a good buy," Clark said. "The government was seeking greater control over the day-to-day business of the airline, which was not acceptable to us."
SriLankan investors might be interested in buying Emirates' stake, Clark said, without being more specific.Emirates said on Sunday it would not renew its management contract, though it did not give a reason.
"Emirates has notified the Government of Sri Lanka that it will not be renewing the shareholder's agreement, which expires on March 31," the carrier said in a statement.
"With effect from April 1, management control of SriLankan Airlines will pass to the Government of Sri Lanka," it said.
The Sri Lankan government last month cancelled the work permit of SriLankan Chief Executive Officer Peter Hill - who was seconded from Emirates - after the carrier refused seats to President Mahinda Rajapaksa and 35 officials who were visiting the United Kingdom.
"It's an amicable parting," Clark said.
Emirates had in September expected to renew its management contract for at least another five years and wanted to double the carrier's fleet to as many as 30 aircraft. Emirates paid $70 million for the stake in SriLankan, its only investment in another carrier.
