      T-2 would've been completed for CMB long time back. Anyway It's very important the T-2 project has to be completed as planned by 2023. CMB Terminal has gone out-dated compared to other South Asian Airports.

      All the best CMB

                  BIA new terminal construction : Agreement to import workers next week

                  The Airport and Aviation Services (Sri Lanka) Ltd. (AASL) is expected to enter into a labour agreement on 30 November with the workers who will be imported to commence the construction of the long overdue second terminal (Terminal II) at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA).

                  The ground-breaking ceremony was held on Wednesday (18) and the construction is set to commence on the same day the agreement is signed, AASL Chairman Maj. Gen. (Retd.) G.A. Chandrasiri told The Sunday Morning Business.

                  Chandrasiri added that Terminal II will be completed in three years, meaning by November 2023, at which time the BIA would be able to handle a combined passenger capacity of 15 million.

                  Maga – one of the six companies which bid for the construction of the interim terminal – scored the highest points in the evaluation, and was recommended by the Standing Cabinet Procurement Committee to be awarded the project.

                  However, on an appeal by the CSCEC, the Procurement Appeal Board overturned this decision and awarded it to the Chinese company, which subsequently received Cabinet approval.

                  Following the awarding of the project to CSCEC and the Cabinet approval, Maga appealed to the Supreme Court in October last year. Plans to construct the interim terminal were abandoned eventually.

                  The new terminal is expected to handle a passenger capacity of nine million as initially planned while the existing terminal handles about six million passengers annually.

                  The new terminal building would feature the addition of 96 check-in counters, eight baggage claim belts, seven baggage makeup carousels, 16 contact boarding gates with 28 passenger boarding bridges, and six bus gates. The scope also includes a capacity enhancement of the incinerator, water treatment plant, and sewerage treatment plant.

                            Only Ceremony was held on the 18 Nov. So that means construction work not started yet?
