The Sri Lankan Air Force has opened a new office of its commercial wing in Jaffna.
The ‘Helitours’ office will manage commercial activities of the Air Force, including civilian air connections with the rest of the island and helicopter tours for tourists, reported the defence ministry’s website.
The new office, on Stanley Road “in the heart of Jaffna”, was ceremoniously opened by Air Force Air Marshall HD Abeywikrama.
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
