Mattala Airport
Comment
-
Airport and Aviation Services (SL) Ltd., the air navigation service provider (ANSP) in Sri Lanka, the client of this project with the support of the Ministry of Aviation, the regulatory authority and the main contractors have taken up the challenge and are well on course for commissioning the second international airport in this historic year of aviation in Sri Lanka.
Coincidently, in the future, the HIA will celebrate 100 years when the county celebrates 200 years of aviation.
The Ratmalana Airport, the first airport in Sri Lanka, getting back its international status in August 2012 is also an achievement in Sri Lanka in this historic year. Already, a few aircraft operations have taken place and the authorities have been very successful in handling them.
The Ratmalana Airport has a huge potential to be developed as a city airport to cater to the medium range aircraft operations of international corporate, medical, technical transits (refueling and crew rest) and the domestic aviation sector, if the infrastructure is developed to meet the necessary requirements.
Stage two of Phase II development project of the Banaranayake International Airport (BIA) will also commence in 2013. As the BIA is reaching its capacity, the completion of Phase II early is going to be very important to meet the demand of air traffic growth in the BIA.Comment

It appears that CMB's Phase II developement project will start after the completion of HTT's Phase I. There are some possibilities some flights from CMB will be transfered to HTT until Phase II complete at CMB.Originally posted by Highflyer View PostComment

Is this possible? Because HTT can't handle the same volume of traffic as CMB. It can only cope with a max of 5 aircraft at one time.
HTT needs to be allowed to grow naturally. Tourists, some business types, the Chinese involved in Hamba port and other activities plus migrant workers will over time use HTT. The airport should be allowed to gorw "organically". Of course this daft government will mess that up (as they messed up Hambantota port) just to show the finger to the opposition. By rushing Hamba ports opening they gave it a "white elephant" tag, which the port clearly is not. It too should be allowed to grow organically and in time will be major asset to the nation.Comment

Yes, HTT can't handle not more than five flight at a time. That's why I said "some flights will shift their operation from CMB to HTT". Very likely LCC flights and Freighter flights like FlyDubai, Air Arabia, Expoair, Spicejet and Mihin Lanka have to shift their operation to HTT for a while. Currently - CMB handle average 80 flights per day. So It will be difficult for CMB to manage all the flights when the construction work is going on. During the Phase I project, CMB managed all the flights because that time were only average 40 flights per day.Originally posted by Praetorian View Post

SriLankan Airlines will operate international flights out of the new Hambantota International Airport when it opens, with services to the Gulf and Middle East regions as a strong possibility.. The airline is studying which services it could move from the Sri Lankan capital Colombo's Bandaranaike International Airport, even though it has to ensure that this will meet both domestic demand and offer connections to transit passengers, says Lal Perera..
