The management of Sri Lankan Airlines said that following a strategy meeting last night, they have decided to take advantage of the current trend of planes being hijacked by estranged husbands and agreed to rent out part of the fleet to local men who wanted to make a statement about their marital predicament and get their 15 miles of fame.
The CEO of Sri Lankan Airlines said, “It is apparent that an increasing number of marriages in Sri Lankan are strained as a result of unrealistic expectations of wedded life and a misplaced sense of ownership of the other person’s life after the wedding day. As a result, we are witnessing an increasing number of frustrated husbands wanting have a way to channel their pent-up frustrations. Following yesterday’s incident in Egypt, we have decided that there is a local market for men taking planes for a ride, having experience it taking other things for a ride on he side, and decided to open part of our fleet to them. This way we can raise some revenues to pay off the debt that former government accumulated after petering from the hill of profitability.”
“The package will consist of flying from Colombo to Mattala, a former luscious land that has turned into a barren space, long forgotten, hardly visited, stores rice and built by China, which is an apt description of how the love in these marriages that have decayed,” he added.
“Of course, the husbands will have to get past immigration first but considering that at one point they were grilled by their former in-laws about everything from what their fourth cousin removed from their mother’s side did for a living to why they want to go abroad to better their lives, it should not be a too much of a problem to face these officers.”
The management also said that they would allow estranged wives to also vent their frustrations by hijacking planes as well but it will have to be on Mihin Airlines and they will be provided assistance on parking. (Feminists – this is satire. Please don’t have a cow.)
