Maldivian Airlines is still waiting to commence, they’re unable to since SriLanka Customs haven’t placed any of their people at RML for Immigration and other operations,hence the delay- Aaqib Hussain

Terminal 2 is a JICA funded project. Why JICA takes time to start the contruction work ?Comment

A short amount of research will reveal the country is out of money - no way to pay back any of the loans.
This is why the IMF is calling the shots - it is also the only organisation that will still lend Sri Lanka money.
JICA funding would also be in the form of a loan - given the current financial state of the country I certainly don't blame them if they are having second thoughts about loaning money.
It's very simple. No money = no terminal.Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this businessComment

The proposed train would have a capacity to hold 400 passengers and conduct nine journeys per day. The iconic project is said to provide safety, comfort and ease of travel coming into the city within 25 minutes.

So much for that - just more Sri Lanka "Big Talk".
Seriously - underwater tunnels?
And for the naive people on this site who don't understand what is happening in their own country this week:-
It's an attempt to de-stabilise and force out the present Government.Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this businessComment

Wheels within wheels....
There is no way to make this airport profitable - so it's surprising anyone would want to be involved in running it.
I suspect there is a lot more going on that hasn't been made public.Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this businessComment

Welcome to our Forum.
Do you think Sri Lanka will complete the construction of terminal 2 by 2020? What's your opinion about current status of CMB?Comment
