    I'll be on holiday in Sri Lanka and want to take photos airplanes at Bandaranaike airport.
    Can you tell me the points from where you can photograph airplanes?
    How do airport security feel about photographing airplanes?​
    Priviet! You can't go real close to the airport due to restricted areas, but you can spot from both ends of runway depending on the season you arrive
    ​​​​​
    For RWY 04 - 18th mile Junction and surrounding area or
    the Lagoon.

    For RWY22 - Middle Marker Beacon / The Warehouse / The Ground area is fine.

    For More information contact me or other fellow spotter based in CMB/VCBI via instergram or VK

    Also Please Keep in mind if you are using a DSLR/Mirroless Camera, keep a low profile.

            Never seen a 777 operating on the AUH - CMB route in the recent past. There's a one today. What's happening?
