SriLankan fleet devastated in terrorist attack


SriLankan Airlines hoped to resume operations today, a day after a terrorist attack by Tamil rebels in Colombo destroyed two of the airline's A330s and one A340 and damaged two A320s and an A340.

The airline said that no passengers or staff members were injured in the attack on Bandaranaike International Airport. Tamil terrorists also struck the adjacent air force base, destroying eight military aircraft. Prior to the attack the airline operated a fleet of 12 aircraft including two A320s, four A340-300s and six A330-200s, all of which were leased. SriLankan noted that resumption of service at Colombo was dependent upon the arrival of the airline's six remaining aircraft, which were at overseas destinations

336 A330-243 TRENT772B-60 04/28/00 SRILANKAN AIRLINES 4R-ALE F-WWKY

341 A330-243 TRENT772B-60 06/15/00 SRILANKAN AIRLINES 4R-ALF F-WWYD


I believe (DEBI) are the leasing Company, and that in there contract they do have WarTime Insurance.

A330-200 Retail Value @ $96 Million Each

A340 Retail Value $105 Million Assuming it was built in 2000
