BIA expansion master plan
The remaining Phase II works are underway, and include
- the construction of a second pier with two-levels of airbridges for arriving and departing passengers
- a 104,000m² passenger terminal building.
The terminal is scheduled to begin construction in 2011 and is expected to be completed by 2016. In 2012, work is expected to begin on a second runway at Bandaranaike International Airport to support the Airbus A380.
In addition, a multistorey car park, a 50-room transit hotel and a remote aircraft apron area are a part of the Phase II works. After the expansion, BIA's capacity is expected to double to 12 million passengers a year.
