Referring to news reports of Flight UL 195 from Colombo to Delhi making an emergency landing at the Indira Gandhi International Airport yesterday (23), SriLankan Airlines clarified affirming that such reports are false and that no emergency was declared for flight UL 195.
Issuing a statement, the airline said the flight did, however, encounter a minor issue with one of its three hydraulic systems. Such things happen from time to time, and the airline’s crew are fully trained to handle them.
“The loss of full functionality of just one hydraulic system neither affects the performance nor calls for an emergency landing of the aircraft. As a routine precaution, the operating crew requested the use of the longer runway for landing in Delhi. The landing was executed safely and without incidents and the aircraft taxied to the parking stand for line maintenance work. All passengers onboard the flight exited the aircraft safely and ahead of the scheduled time of arrival, without any interruption to their journey,” the statement added.

Only the mentally ill with a tendency to suicide fly with SriLankan. It amazes me that there are still pilots to fly these medieval airplanes.

Anything connected to airline inmid flight is considered an emergency as the plane cannot be parked in the sky and ask passengers to disembark until repairs are done .

The day is not far away when SriLankan Airlines will make an emergency landing for good. Successive CEOs and ministers have destroyed it completely and even worse, made the people of the country pay very dearly for their corrupt activities and heinous mismanagement.
