Let's be honest here, I think Mattala has been a huge bust. Honestly, HRI seems to just be a hindrance for passengers trying to get elsewhere from Colombo. I mean really, if you are flying from Colombo to the Maldives or Riyadh say, the idea of flying backwards to Mattala just seems crazy. I wouldn't think that the passenger loads on to HRI are very good, as Air Arabia certainly didn't have enough passengers to even keep the route up for 6 months. It's sad to see this new airport in such a state.

My friend from KUL took the CMB/HRI sector some 3 weeks back. Mind you, only 6 pax on board. Some 10 customs officers had a field day ransacking the luggage of a single foreign lady arriving at HRI who merely wanted to go to a village vihara to do charity and brought gifts for sunday school children.... Hmmmmm! Can't blame her for not wanting to land in HRI again.Comment

Mihin Lanka sees strong cargo potential on Colombo-Mahe sector. Mihin Lanka, Sri Lanka’s low cost airline is making headway on the Colombo –Mahe sector flying twice weekly with a load factor of around 45 percent and the airline’s Head of Commercial, Rohana Perera expressed confidence that it would reach 55 percent or more during the season. ihin’s A- 320 aircraft flying on this sector would undergo some changes with 12 seats upfront coming under a new class which would provide more comfort to the passengers added with sufficient leg space, inflight entertainment and a full meal as the airline is already catering to a more up market clientale on this sector, he said.
