                    Agree, it does seem like a waste to just totally abandon it. It is good news that UL are going to abandon serving this loss-making "city", however I really hope that there is some other strategy being formulated to make use of this, either as:

                    1) Cargo airport
                    2) MRO facility
                    3) Low-cost/charter airport (like what Clark is to Manila)
                    The best comment I've seen so far is to turn the airport into a 3 - Wheeler stand. Love it!

                    The big picture is that debt to GDP in Sri Lanka is sitting at 78%. This is one of the highest levels amongst developing nations. 40% of government revenue goes towards paying the interest on this debt.

                    The country cannot afford to waste more money. I don't believe the options listed are viable - the real problem is that this airport was built for political reasons. There was never a business case for this airport. I don't believe there is any way to make this airport viable.

                    Anyone seen the monthly operating costs for this airport? I think that will simplify things.

                    At a certain point - you have to cut your losses and walk away. I think this is the only logical option.
                    Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

                      The first A330-300 is leased from ALC, the remaining 6 are on direct order with Airbus

                          Finally - some of the corruption is being made public. This is just the tip of the iceberg...

                            The New SL Government is not going to close the Mattala Airport completly but SriLankan and Mihin Lanka has cancelled the Bangkok, Chennai, Jeddah, Bodh Gaya, Medan flights out of HRI. Rotana Jet already has pulled out from HRI service. FlyDubai operating normal Daily x DXB-CMB-HRI-DXB, SriLankan is only operating HRI with 2 weekly CMB-HRI-PEK-CMB, 2 weekly CMB-HRI-PVG-CMB and 4 weekly CMB-MLE-HRI-CMB (UL using HRI as a transit airport for some of the Maldives pax who fly towards PEK and PVG). Mihin Lanka is only operating 1 weekly CMB-IXM-HRI-CMB.

                                Sri Lankan Airlines cancels all flights to Mattala

                                Sri Lankan airlines has canceled all flights to the Mattala Rajapaksa International airport.

                                Addressing a media briefing alongside Minister of State for Aviation Faiszer Mustapha, Sri Lankan Airlines CEO Kapila Chandrasena stated that an additional cost of 10% was incurred when operating the flights from Mattala.

                                Minister of State Faizer Mustapha speaking to the media stated that he did not order the cancellation of flights to Mattala and merely instructed the officials to discontinue all unproductive routes. He went on to note that the CEO would not have had the power to make such a decision during the previous administration.

                                Responding to a question raised by a journalist on the fate of Mihin Lanka the Minister stated that the decision on whether or not the carried would be shut down would be decided following a discussions with the President and Prime Minister.

                                He went on to note that it is not practical for an airline operator to function with just three aircraft adding that an evaluation would be done to determine the operators fate .
