Professor Sonal Fernando, a former Director of Airport and Aviation Services (Sri Lanka) Ltd., stated that commissions are a routine component of aircraft acquisition. During a press conference in Katunayake, Fernando argued that these payments are typically embedded within the total purchase price. He suggested that rejecting these commissions might lead to the cancellation of deals by sellers. According to Fernando, aircraft can be procured via manufacturers, brokers, or authorized agents, with the latter often providing financial benefits through these standard commission structures. His remarks emerge as public scrutiny intensifies regarding historical aircraft procurement agreements involving SriLankan Airlines.
