Sri Lanka recently announced that it will pay as much as USD 170 million (Rs. 25 billion) to the aircraft-leasing company AerCap Holdings, in order to cancel the purchase of four Airbus A350 aircraft, which the country's Rajapaksa government had previously purchased in 2013. 
Hivi karibuni Sri Lanka ilitangaza kuwa italipa deni linalofikia Dola za Marekani Milioni 170 kwa kampuni inayotengeneza na kukodisha ndege AerCap Holdings, kama gharama za kuvunja mkataba wa kununua ndege nne aina ya Airbus A350, ambazo ziliagizwa na serikali ya Rais Rajapaksa wa nchi hiyo mwaka 2013.
