    With all due respect without any flights it can never be profitable - no matter who is in charge.

    There's virtually no infrastructure -how on earth are they going to handle cargo?

    Nobody wants to fly there - it's as simple as that.

    Sounds like the Indians are too smart to get involved in this fiasco.

              I know Sri Lankans are very naive but this is bad even by Sri Lankan standards....

              With this kind of bizarre thinking it's hardly surprising things are the way they are.

                          The Government today admitted it is trying to?balance China and India on investment projects in Sri Lanka. Cabinet spokesman Dr. Rajitha Senaratne told reporters that Sri Lanka was open to anyone willing to invest and resurrect loss making projects in the country. Among the key projects the Government was looking to make profits out of is the Mattala international airport and the Hambantota port, both seen as “white elephants” as they have not made profits since being launched.
