A programme has been developed to develop domestic airports.
Ministry of Civil Aviation has launched a programme to develop domestic airports in the island. A sum of 750 million rupees has been allocated for this purpose. Under the programme Ratmalana airport will be developed as a major domestic airport.
Minister Priyankara Jayarathne says two domestic airports will be setup in Kandy and Nuwara Eliya. This will help the foreigners arriving in Sri Lanka to reach any part of the island within a short period. The minister added that Sri Lankan airlines will be made a profitable venture within next 5 years.

Sri Lanka airport agency to call proposals for BOT hotel: report
June 03, 2012 (LBO) - Sri Lanka is to call proposals for a luxury hotel near the island's Bandaranaike International Airport, north of the capital Colombo, to be constructed on a build-operate-transfer (BOT) basis, a media report said.
The Sunday Times newspaper said the Airport and Aviations Services Limited, a state agency that owns and operates the airport would give land and charge a land rental and a concession free on the hotel's revenue.
The newspaper said China Harbour Corporation, a contractor that is already involved in many Chinese funded projects is the front runner, followed by Quant International Ltd, a British firm and Fico (Pvt) Ltd, which is Sri Lanka based.
The Sunday Times, citing an unnamed aviation ministry source said the cabinet of ministers had approved the BOT plan after an earlier attempt to build a luxury hotel by AASL was scrapped for lack of funds.
The airport agency is scrambling to expand capacity at Katunayake after aircraft and passenger movements zoomed following the end of a 30-year war.

Logic says the 2nd runway should be angled, unless due to space constraints, it can be parallel
For both, there is lack of space - Airforce, FTZ .. and all and more ..
Unless the carve out space far away from the main runway and put up a backup runway a bit away with proper taxiway ..
