Building a International Airport in Dry-Zone was a good thing!!! I call a spade a spade!!! The birds and animals around will move away!!! I remember recently when BIA runaway was under repairs Flights were diverted to MRIA !!! Remembe, SL a Island and Having 2 International Airports is a boon to the country!!!

I cannot understand why we have not converted Palaly airport into an international one yet. The advantages and economic benefits are huge. I presume it's due to pure jealousy as usual in not developing the North and East.

As a nation SL should and must have two international airports. Anyone who wants to sell or lease these assets to India or any other country are traitors. There are 1001 things that can be done to make use of the MRIA for the benefit of sri lankans.

So... 1 flight landed at Mattala due to bad weather. A few airlines initially agreed to fly commercial flights to Mattala and then stopped doing that as it was commercially not-viable. SL Govt spent a LOT of USD to build MRIA and each of us Sri Lankans are paying more tax to help pay off the loans taken to build MRIA.Given the above, anyone who suggests selling/leasing MRIA is a traitor?? Seriously, from a country that is supposed to have a literacy rate over 90%????

Ha haaaaaaaaaaaa. The UNPers will try to negate the value of Mattala as long as the morons are in power. US, India and China know the value of Mattala.. Those who blindly hate the previous regime will keep on trying to use the media to destroy the worth of this strategically-valuable airport.'Still want 'yahapalanaya', anyone?????? No, unless you are a beneficiary of their perks

Our people are obsessed of India. Only when they needed intelligence and help during the civil war they begged India's help. When India wants to help us to develop please accept their help. Don't be paranoid that India will swallow SL. Grow up.
