Mattala Airport, which is situated in a remote part of the country towards the southing part was opened for flight operations in 2013. However, most of the commercial flights refused to use the airport due to some close encounters with birds & wildlife. However with the pandemic, the airport was used effectively for special charter flights & repatriation flights to bring back citizens stranded in foreign countries.
Good location,
Proud to have a secondary international air port in Sri Lanka. But, maintenance is poor.
I wonder why they closed this Airport for the time being. It was very easy access for the travellers who is going from Southern and Eastern province of Sri Lanka. Just less than 3 hours from Ampara. The responsible authority should take initiative to resume the services again.
2nd Sri Lankan international Airport. But it's not successful. nowadays it's using for local transport.
