Hey Guys,
Happy Sinhala/Tamil New Year to everyone !!
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 ?

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

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

Are you sure they are building another runway? I don't think there is enough room, maybe it is a domestic terminal. Anyone else have recent pictures or video of the airport? I'm in the USA and I would love to see. I'll be in Colombo in 11 days!Leave a comment:
