BIA issues travel advisory as flooding disrupts access roads

Airport and Aviation Services (Sri Lanka) (Private) Limited has issued an important travel advisory for all passengers departing through the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA), as several airport access routes remain affected by flooding due to the prevailing adverse weather conditions.

Authorities urged departing passengers to use the Colombo–Katunayake Expressway, noting that it currently offers the safest and most reliable route to reach the airport.

In a bid to ease congestion within the terminal during this challenging period, passengers have also been requested to refrain from bringing visitors to the airport.

Airport management said that despite the ongoing difficulties caused by severe weather, efforts are being made to maintain uninterrupted operations, and extended their appreciation to the public for their cooperation and understanding.
