This is because Sri Lanka\u2019s oil and gas company \u2014 Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) \u2014 has failed to import the required jet fuel into the country due to the foreign exchange crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also, read    <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/2022\/06\/29\/airasia-will-fly-its-only-airbus-a330-800-miles-to-bangkok-and-manila-in-july\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">AirAsia will fly its only Airbus A330 800 miles to Bangkok  and Manila in July<\/a>       <\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/2022\/07\/07\/pradhaan-air-express-a-cargo-airline-plans-to-begin-operations-this-year\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Pradhaan Air Express, a cargo airline, plans to begin operations this year<\/a>    <\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/2022\/07\/06\/dgca-issues-notice-to-spicejet-for-poor-safety-oversight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">DGCA issues notice to SpiceJet for poor safety oversight<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is worth noting that the daily fuel use of Sri Lankan Airlines out of Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) is approximately 700,000 liters.
