A Sri Lankan man has been detained by shop staff after he was founded to be allegedly selling fraudulent Sri Lankan Airlines tickets outside offices of the airline’s local sales agent Galaxy Enterprises, reports Haveeru.
An official from Galaxy, Mohamed Latheef, told Haveeru that the man was caught outside the office and detained after selling 28 fraudulent tickets for US$216 each. The company sells tickets for US$268.
“We found out about it when some passengers who weren’t listed in the passengers list arrived with e-tickets. We discovered the suspect while he was attempting to buy a ticket at the airline. We detained the suspect and handed over to the police,” Latheef told Haveeru, adding that “some money” was confiscated from the man.
The tickets were computer printed, he said, noting that the company had warned other sales agents in the capital.
Police told Haveeru that they were conducting an investigation into forged airline tickets, but that no one had been arrested.
