  • Air Ceylon Was Launched in December 1947 Using the Reli- Able Workhorse Douglas DC-3 DC-3 Aircraft
    Tuesday 25th March, 2008 13 he multi-million dollar question in many peo- Tple’s minds today is whether SriLankan Airlines should go it alone. It was Lee Kuan Yew who said: “To know where you are going you have to know from where you came.” So this might be an opportune time to review the checkered and sad history of the national airline that started with great promise. Air Ceylon was launched in December 1947 using the reli- able workhorse Douglas DC-3 DC-3 aircraft. A group of tech- nically qualified World War II veterans along with hand- picked Ceylonese with work experience at home and in India formed the backbone of the new airline. Within a few months of its formation, in August 1948 an agreement was signed with Australian National Airways (ANA) to pro- vide Air Ceylon with technical assistance to operate the larger four-engine, long-range Douglas DC-4 Skymaster on internation- al services. This was seen as a less risky option than buying two relatively advanced and complex Lockheed Air Ceylon - Lockheed 1049 Super Constellations aircraft that Constellation formed part of Air Ceylon’s original plan.
