SL’s second international airport to give confidence to international travellers.

There are lot of positive points in initiating a new air port at Weerawila.

The ground limitations at BIA restricts building a new tract. The facilities can not be expanded as that should like lengthening the tract to land bigger air crafts. So building an airport at Weerawila is not just to use in an emergency.

There will be a highway from Hambathota to Colombo, which is partially completed.

The tourists, which form a bulk of foreigners using BIA will not mind landing at Weerawila. There are lot of people from Southern part of the country who are going abroad especially to middle east. They can also use the new airport.

Think about the positive aspects as well.
