    What? How can we compare Male with Sri Lanka? Male airport is just a island?

    What is the relevance?

    True. Their's is an island. But if MR was President of Male, he would rid several more other islands of their businesses and inhabitants to create a monstrous airport to land the biggest airlines of the world - if only someone suggested to him - notwithstanding the costs involved. The problem is, nobody or no institution dared to talk any sense into him.

    Bro I'm not going to dispute your knowledge about airlines. But the fact remains whether we NEEDED a project of this gigantic magnitude. Surely you don't mean this was the most urgent project needed for our country now. If the funding was coming from some source it would have been okay, but to take massive loans at astronomical interest to utilise for an obviously-not-so-urgent-project is absurd, to say the least. I can't help wondering how little Male is managing airlines and airports.
    MR is a showman. He hates to leave the limelight, as you see even now. He can't control his impulse to launch himself on daring but foolish projects, most of which were cunningly proposed by his close ring of stooges for financial kickbacks. He would think nothing of costs involved if the project tickles his fancy.
    Thank god we failed to host the C'wealth Games. Look at what Greece is going through after hosting the Olympics!

    100% true Machan.

    Well let's see. Even I had doubts on Mattala. But Even the UNP-Yahapalana team has acknowledged that they will go ahead with Mattala. I don't know whose right or whose wrong.

    Yeah, we can all but wait, and hope for the best. UNP, or whoever else will have to do something about it.

    So
    what is your opinion about rather than developing a "white elephant" mattala project, if they spend that money on adding another runaway to the BIA and extend the other lounge facilities and Bay facilities?
    to me Mattala is a failure, of course there should be another major airport in Srilanka, but not so soon, since there is no any other facilities like, proper transportation, hotels, food and beverages shops, fuel farm, etc.. etc.. etc..
    this project is a failure.

    Do you think passengers will travel 2-3 hours from the Airport to the hotels if the diversion happened to the MIA? think again..
    airlines won't like to spend more on those things also..

    PS: සිංහලෙන්ම කියනවනම් මත්තල වැඩකරන උන්ට හදිසියකට ටක්සියක යන්න උනොත් 1500ක් 1000ක් යනවලු එයාපෝර්ට් එකට යන්නම. ඒ මදිවට හවස 7න් පස්සේ සහ උදේ 8 වෙනකන් එලියට එන්නත් බැලූ අලි ඉන්න නිසා. ඔන්න ඕකයි ප්‍රැක්ටිකල් සීන් එක.ප්‍රොජෙක්ට් රිපෝට් වල තියන එව්වා 100%ක් ඇත්ත නෙමේ සහෝ..


    Answers Pls
    those were the exact same questions we asked from our management when they asked us to go there for the very first time.. then they took us on a ride in the surrounding area and showed us the planned sites for hotels, hospitals and the highway and railway lines linking the airport to the rest of the country. we were in dire need of a new airport. if you walk down on the BIA runway you'd see what i'm talking about. we need another airport in sri lanka so that relaying work of BIA can begin.
    fuel farm is complete. shangri la hotel complex is going on ( http://www.adaderana.lk/bizenglish/hambantotas-shangri-la-hotel-moving-right-as-scheduled/ ), and the new hospital is nearing completion. Airport receives water from Lunugamwehera, and they have predicted it's not going to be enough by the time all those other facilities are built up.so they are expecting Uma Oya project to be completed before that.

    mattala is not a failure. it's just a part of a network of projects. it will be a failure if they stop all the other planned projects for the area.

    overflying traffic volume has gone up considerably after commencing mattala. we charge about $400 per aircraft for overflying our airspace so do the math..
    and you also have to calculate how much sri lankan airlines is saving for every single flight simply for not having to carry additional fuel required to fly to chennai. (All inbound sri lankan flights use mattala as their alternate, so the amount of additional fuel they have to carry is several tonnes less)

    your suggestion to add another runway to BIA is not feasible at all..
    first of all we don't need a second runway for BIA.. at least for another 20 years. but we do need a second airport for sri lanka located far from BIA for the reasons i've listed in my previous posts.

    Mattala is a national requirement. of course they could've built it in Anuradhapura Jaffna or Trinko, still they'd face the exact same problems as mattala today. any airport is not complete without a proper five star hotel nearby and a good hospital.

    still waiting for an answer

    the problem is not the actual number of diversions.
    every single flight need to carry additional fuel for diversions. this is in tonnes..
    more fuel --> more weight --> more fuel required for the actual flying..

    they save 1000s of dollars by not having to carry extra fuel all the way to Chennai.
