Only cutting trees yet, I saw yesterday

Damn... will they go with the original lotus design??

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.

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!

Damn you guys still thinking of building a banana or a lotus...wait for another 5 years and change the "roof" like a dildo

LMFAO

Honestly don't get the obsession of plants/flowers and stems with the Rajapkse regime

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.
