Officials have strongly opposed the decision to transfer five new cab vehicles belonging to the Airport and Aviation Services (Sri Lanka) (Private) Limited, to the Ministry of Transport and Highways, in exchange for five older cabs owned by the ministry.
The cabs to be taken over to the ministry bear the numbers : WP PI 3785, WP PI 3797, WP PJ 2241, WP PJ 2231, and WP PJ 2229.
Noting that these vehicles are used for official duties at airports across the country, AASL officials point out that transferring them would disrupt necessary travel for work.
It is also reported that these vehicles are currently used by officials for duties at airports located in Mattala, Batticaloa, Jaffna, and other areas.
Meanwhile, media reports have also cited that these vehicles are planned to be given to MPs who do not have vehicles.
