      SriLankan Airlines yesterday (29th Jan ’13) did its maiden flight to Hambantota International Airport - Sri Lanka's 2nd International Airport which is currently in Mattala. The Tech and Cabin Crew onboard received a warm welcome from the presently operating staff at the Airport, and sharing you some of the moment in time. The SriLankan’s Airbus A330 made its maiden touch down at HIA and was welcome by the airport with a water salute by fire fighting vehicles.

        CMB-> HTT an air distance of about 200 KM ? maybe less than 30 minutes or much lesser. But in reality it maybe closer to 45 mins + including taxi time, sequence etc ..

          I presume the flight took about 30-40 mins block to block, also considering that it did not flew too high. The shorter distance is anyway unlikely to be sufficient to reach FL350+, hence I'm not sure what is the optimum cruise altitude for the most efficient fuel burn.

              Many Thanks Umedha for sharing the latest pictures from HRI (New IATA Code for Hambantota Mahinda Rajapakse International Airport). @Kflyer - Do you know what is the ICAO code for Hambantota Airport ?

              Lets keep the politics aside, it's a goodnews SriLanka's third international airport going to be opened within one month and 18 days. I pray god our new airport should become successful which will milk more employment opportunities and economy boom to our motherland. Looking forward to that day!

              I would suggest MRO facility is a must for HRI as I have seen most of the times SriLankan Engineering is not coping with single hangar based in CMB. Since the clients of SriLankan Engineering is expanding the fleet, MRO facility must be expanded at HRI.

              @Sakith - Any idea when will the revenue flight operation will commence at HRI ? I heard you are going to get job-transfer from CMB to HRI. Is that true ?
              @Kflyer - Is there any Foreign airline interested in launching flights to HRI ? I would suggest UL to intially start charter flights on CMB-HRI-Europe in the Winter seasons.

                  Hi,
                  looks like Wiki not up to date.
                  I also look directly to iata.org and found HRI
                  Maybe the Director of THIS airport could explain. How likes to contact him head.mkt@airport.lk
                  My English isn't so good.

                  SPB, perhaps Souther Province B(ase).... or an old military name ?

                    Banuthev, FZ will likely start as they agreed in principle to do so when they were allowed additional frequencies - as reported widely. Not sure when though.

                      the distance between Dhaka and chittagong is over 300 km but the flight time on DC-10, B737, A310, MD-83 is between 20 and 25 min. they cruise at about FL170

                            Sri Lanka to build MRO facility at Hambantota airport

                            03:58 7 Jan 2013

                            Sri Lanka is planning to build an MRO facility at its upcoming Hambantota International Airport.

                            Construction of the country's second international airport, located in the Mattala area in the Hambantota district, is almost completed and it is due to open in the first quarter of 2013. The $206 million project is funded by China's Ex-Im Bank.

                            The new MRO facility will increase employment opportunities and also stimulate economic development in the country's southern region, says Sri Lanka's ministry of defence and urban development. No further details were mentioned.

                            An additional loan of yen (Y) 28.9 billion has also been secured from the Japan International Cooperation Agency for further expansion works at the airport to be completed by 2015. This includes expansion of the airport's terminal building, aircraft parking apron and public utilities.
