Nasheed’s Obsession Resurfaces: Still Dreaming of Selling Velana Airport
A commentary arguing that former President Mohamed Nasheed's proposal to sell part of Velana International Airport shares to repay a USD 500 million sukuk bond revives memories of the controversial 2010 airport sale to GMR Group. The article praises the Muizzu administration's new terminal and its policy of retaining full state ownership of the airport.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
