                  • I prefer banana design as it looks good and I think it looks very spacious

                    • Is this good for the aviation sector in Hambantota?
                      may be chinese airlines will fly to HRI to transport the tyre factory workers.

                      Sri Lanka announced Tuesday the first large-scale Chinese investment in manufacturing in the country, a $300-million tyre factory near a strategic deep-sea port.

                      Western nations, as well as regional power India, have long been concerned about Chinese influence in Sri Lanka through projects under its gargantuan Belt and Road infrastructure initiative

                        Very confusing... how can there be a loss from something that hasn't been built yet and who is losing the Rs.31bn? Is this due to the claimed 5 year delay in the construction start-up? Loss of revenue in aviation and / or non-aviation revenues? Maybe a saving can be realized if the Banana Leaf design is simpler / cheaper than the original Lotus Leaf roof design. But a loss...?

                          I agree, very confusing. Aesthetically, the Lotus design is more pleasing. But so what! Not yet a candidate for MAI coverage!

                                Yea the political changes definitely didn't help the construction. Now the best option would be to go for the cheaper and quicker design whichever it is.
