    Hambantota Airport should be sold in stock exchange. Sri Lankan Government can recover the cost of the loan. Hambantota airport is ideal location for Air Cargo Hub. Instead of trying to focus in passenger flights. If privatised. They will run like business. The largest cargo shipment is done by FEDex for Aircargo flights. Aircargo is big business, most of the courier companies are there. To transfer cargo from Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia to India ,Middle East, China,Europe etc. Evern though there are no passenger to the airport.If proper highway is built from Hambantota to costal eastern province, then more likely more tourist will land in Hambantota instead of Colombo to go to Eastern province.

    Sri Lanka needs to privatise and expand Ratmalana, Trincomale, Batticloa,Jaffna airports .
