    The image above and the Airport Express website ( http://www.airportexpress.lk/Project.php) train images are copied from the California High Speed Rail ( http://www.cahighspeedrail.ca.gov/ ) website. They've photoshopped the words "CALIFORNIA" out the images.


    This Airport Express website is way beyond the usual Sri Lankan exaggeration; it's an outright intentional misrepresentation. Airport Express actually claim in their website that they will build a massive suspension bridge over Colombo and I quote:

    " the most enthralling glimpse of the Colombo Harbour from the 3.5 km Suspension Bridge which will be the longest in Asia similar to the one in California USA the famous Golden Gate. "

        Finally saw for myself the on going construction for the CMB-KIA expressway and it seems to be going at a fast rate, which is good.

        Couldn't take any pictures as we were going prettty fast and i was too tired to ask the driver to slow down.

                    It is very essential that 2nd MRO facility should be built in Sri Lanka, as the CMB-Hanger is getting busier with a growing UL Fleet and overseas clients including Airblue, Goair, Indigo, RoyalJet.. On the other hand , expanding SriLankan Engineering facilities will create more jobs and boost the country's economy. Also Gulf air-carriers will be started using HTT as a technical stop for their flights operates to Australasia.

                    @ mrpanini - Do you have any latest pictures from HTT construction ?

                                        It looks like there is enough space for expansion.

                                                            Thankz, I flew to the Maldives via this Colombo Airport several years ago. The only concern is transit at Colombo as the security situation isn't bright due to Tamil-lankan government conflict.
