Sri Lanka International Airports
Despite its very modest size, the island of Ceylon has almost two dozen operating airports on its territory. Of these, two have been assigned international status:
- Colombo Bandaranaike air harbor is located 35 km north of the capital. The national airline SriLankan Airlines and the planes of the local low-cost airline Mihin Lanka are based here..
- The southeast of Sri Lanka is served by Mattala Rajpaksa Airport. Its main feature is ecological technologies for energy generation, water desalination and waste disposal. The country's first "green" airport today receives Flydubai flights from the UAE and aircraft from its own capital, Colombo. Its opening in 2013 was great news for the island's tourism industry, and local tour operators are planning to expand the number of partners around the world.
