In the wake of the shocking report submitted by a committee headed by senior lawyer J.C. Weliamuna, the conduct of former Chairman of SriLankan Airlines Nishantha Wickramasinghe came under severe criticism from various quarters.
The report underscored the fact that the former Chairman's alleged association with certain cabin crew members had cost the organization millions of rupees.
The report said former chairman had also created a post of “SLA Brand Ambassador” and appointed his known companion, an airhostess even though no such designation was known to the national carrier. The couple had travelled abroad on tickets bought by Sri Lankan from other airlines too.
“In our investigation, we can conclusively hold that former Chairman’s association with cabin crew members exposed Sri Lankan Airlines to abuse of power, causing reputational risks as well as financial losses.
“BOI can also hold that there was no corporate culture in the board or the top management to raise such issues when a senior officer or the chairman was involved in such behavioral issues adversely affecting the company” the report said.
