The five aircrafts are on ground not because of finance issues; The reason from SriLankan Airlines

According to SriLankan Airlines, the five aircraft are on ground due to a global shortage and not because of a lack of finances as some news reports have stated inaccurately.

 

"The aircraft, belonging to the Airbus A320 NEO family, are currently awaiting engines after shop visits as the global industry faces a shortage of engines and long lead times for engine repairs for this type of aircraft as a result of a technical reliability issue."

The SriLankan explained the background reasons and circumstances as the cause of the five aircraft referring to the reported certain news. SriLankan Airlines is currently on headway with its suppliers to sort out a solution.
