      Initially, the entire runway expansion process was ready to begin, but there have been no updates since the change of minister. The RDA is set to carry out the expansion. As regards the airport terminal expansion, the Airport and Aviation authorities are yet to finalise the tender, which was slated to be conducted on November 28th, as per the Airport and Aviation Sri Lanka website.
      During that day, we faced the Dithwa cyclone, and I haven't received any updates on the expansion projects since then. If anyone has any info, pls share! I'm eager to know the future of Jaffna airport too!
      Good news! JAF terminal expansion launched as per below news. Do you know how the terminal will look when it's completed? Any plans / pictures of the proposed terminal?


      The terminal expansion project at Jaffna International Airport (JIA) officially commenced on 15 December 2025 with a foundation-laying ceremony, marking a significant milestone in enhancing passenger facilities and strengthening regional air connectivity in Northern Sri Lanka.

              A further 30 months will be required to complete the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) Terminal II project once it is awarded to the prospective Japanese contractor through the ongoing tender process, as only around 30% has been completed under the previous regimes, the Ministry of Ports and Civil Aviation reveals.
              • Only 30% of total project completed
              • Awaiting JICA concurrence on technical evaluation
              • Project to be implemented in 2 packages
