The British head of Sri Lankan Airlines has been sacked after the carrier, 51-per-cent governments owned, refused to bump passengers off a flight from London to make way from the President of Sri Lanka. The government of Sri Lanka said yesterday it was cancelling a work permit for Mr Peter Hill, who has been the carrier's chief executive for eight years. It blamed him for the air lines' refusal to clear 35 seats for President Mahinda Rajapaksa and his entourage on a flight from London to Colombo on Dec 13.
