A temporary terminal would be built at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) in Katunayake within six months as a solution to the increasing congestion at the airport, He told Parliament that the contract undertaken by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to build the second terminal at the BIA had to be cancelled as its estimate was 45 per cent higher than that of the government engineers.We will call for tenders again for the construction of the second terminal which will take another four to five years to complet The minister said they were studying the possibility of constructing the second runway at the BIA to cater to the increasing demand.

Lol, but why need a temporary terminal? Stupid idea, whereas they can continue to build the second terminal from now on and get it completed soon. I agree that the passenger count is increasing, so if they start the new terminal now, it can be completed quicker.Originally posted by kennny15 View Post
Ratmalana is also going to be made, as the Air Force have agreed to release 25 acres to expand the international operations, while keeping the Air Force base also stationed at Ratmalana with their hangars placed at different areas at the airport. Good to see Ratmalana also developing. But I hope that they will increase the facilities of the terminal area at Ratmalana.Comment

Tourism Minister highlights the country needs more domestic airports as there are people who don’t want to waste time on the road.Originally posted by Haleef View Post
“I think we need one in the central hill part of the country if possible, and in the north and also in the southern part of the country, and the airport in Ratmalana should be expanded and brought under the Civil Aviation Authority, because there are many airlines from India who want to come in with 80 to 90 passengers who could easily land at Ratmalana without going to Katunayake and getting congested,” Minister Amaratunga added.

The GOSL is out of money - they don't have $500 million just laying around.
None of this will be built anytime soon.
No money = no terminal. It's a very simple concept.
