    Temporary terminal at BIA to ease congestion, the second terminal at the BIA had to be cancelled

    A temporary terminal would be built at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) in Katunayake within six months as a solution to the increasing congestion at the airport, He told Parliament that the contract undertaken by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to build the second terminal at the BIA had to be cancelled as its estimate was 45 per cent higher than that of the government engineers.We will call for tenders again for the construction of the second terminal which will take another four to five years to complet The minister said they were studying the possibility of constructing the second runway at the BIA to cater to the increasing demand.

    New terminal? I got this shot on 12th April
    Yes. i think that is, or it must be the road that is going above the airport connecting to the terminal on the upper section of the airport, as in the proposed pictures.

    One short question:
    it's possible to get the Recognition Permit for abroad driving licence on the office into CMB-airport,
    or have I go to the Department of Motor Transport in Colombo ?

    I have noticed a few construction works are currently going on at CMB. Please take a look.


    Pic - 1 & 2. Location is next to Air force base. I think this is for 2nd runway ?

    CMB7

    Pic - 3 & 4. Preparation of Apron E is mostly done.

    CMB8

    Pic - 5 : Location is Next to Aircraft hangar. Is it the proposed Domestic terminal ?

    CMB9
