    Good news! It will be used as a domestic terminal after completion of Terminal 2

    I can see some construction are going on between current Terminal and A320 hangar. Any chance prefabricated terminal constructed where i highlighted in the attached map.

    BIA need domestic Terminal which would help passengers to connect easily with international flights.

      It will be waste of money if it has to be removed when the terminal 2 is ready.

      In my opinion, interim terminal better be contructed where it can be used for domestic flights or LCC flights in the future.

      Please share your opinion.

                      Joke! The Gov better focus on completing the Terminal 2 asap for the only International Airport instead of focusing on other white elephant projects.

Why don't they spend the money on completing Terminal 2 at CMB as soon as possible and concentrate on developing the Jaffna Airport to handle B737 and A320 ? Jaffna Airport has potential to connect flights to India, Maldives, Middle East and Far East.

                          Please tell your opinion.
                          another batticaloa airport!!! TRR has more potential than that, and we're a small country with less aircraft movements than Maldives. yet we have HRI,JAF,RML and CMB. all of them are Intl airports. another pet project to steal some money. so my opinion is we don't need more international airports, it's better to attract more airlines for existing airports by lowering the landing and tax fees,(etc.)
                          specially for airports like HRI & RML.

                            Sri Lanka to establish new International civil airport, area identified

                            ​
                            The government is considering establishing an international civil airport in Hingurakgoda, it was reported.

                            According to Daily Mirror, the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Aviation plans to develop the Hingurakgoda Airport, also known as the Minneriya Airport, as an international civil airport.

                            During a special discussion held at the Ministry yesterday (03), Minister of Ports, Shipping and Aviation Nimal Siripala de Silva made the proposal to develop the Hingurakgoda Airport as an international civil airport.

                            The Minister pointed out the convenience of facilitating visits to the Polonnaruwa, Anuradhapura, Sigiriya and Dambulla areas by transforming the Hingurakgoda airport into an international civil airport.

                            He further said that this development will help Sri Lanka increase its foreign exchange earnings by attracting more foreign tourists to these historical and cultural sites.

                            “A field study will be conducted pertaining to improving and developing the airport for the landing and takeoff of A330 aircraft. Extending the current 2,287 m runway up to 2,800 m, construction of an access way to the airport runway, setting up an air navigation system, and construction of an Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower and a passenger terminal at the airport were decided as essential measures,” he added.

                            Minister Nimal Sirpala de Silva further revealed that the administration and operation of the said airport are currently under the Sri Lanka Air Force. (NewsWire)

                            I can't imagine the thinking behind this sleepy politician and the so called officials. It's another plot to rob money. Sri Lanka needs to develop its only international airport BIA to meet international standards. This country is full of thieves and blank heads. No wonder we cannot move forward from here.

                              Jaffna has the best potential when compared to any other location apart form CMB
                              GoSL has lost the plot as always
                              To be very honest the only glimmer of hope right now for SL is FitsAir​
