Beware of Sri Lankan Air

From The Week:

Good week for speaking up, after passengers aboard a Sri Lankan Airlines flight
from London to Colombo rebelled and refused to let the plane take off because it
was missing a jagged, 5-foot section of one wing, sheared off in an accident the
previous day. Sri Lankan Airlines insists the plane could have flown safely,
explaining that the tips of the wings "are purely for aerodynamics."
[Italics mine]

You have been warned.
