Hmm.... and they turned it into paddy storage? And said it was a useless vanity thing.

Paddy storing is OK. Why no? For the few flight movements Mattala can still function as airport also.

One air traffic controller to another at Mattala airport, "Hey... wake up! a plane is coming to land!

It seems that more and more such incidents are happening to Sri Lankan airlines within a short spate of time. There is a difference in the planes. When I first traveled Air Lanka more than 25 years ago, the planes were in good condition and able to handle different weather conditions. Now the planes shake and shudder at the slightest weather change. I think it is time to repair our fleet or retire them. We have the best service and pilots. It is their skill that saves these moments.

ara - $ 200 Million is SL Tax Payers money ! How can you justify spending $ 200 Million to land a couple of airlines every year ? The maximum cost of using and Indian airport for such an emergency will be few thousand dollars ! So you justify spending $ 200 Millions for something which can be done for a few thousand dollars ? ALL SL people pay taxes for these short sighted propanda expenses !!!
