New passenger terminal at Palaly Airport

A new terminal has been added to ease passenger operations at Palaly air port. The fully equipped air movement building was constructed by SLAF Palaly. The new terminal was a long felt need for military and civil air passengers who travel between Palaly and Colombo.

The new facility was opened by Commander of the Air Force Air Marshal Harsha Abeywickrama at a function held at the Palaly Air Port on Friday.

With the post-war development activities in full swing the former conflict zone has seen an unprecedented economic and social revival. The opening of new tourist destinations has led to a boom in the Northern hospitality industry.

The domestic air transportation industry is poised to achieve greater heights in the future as Sri Lanka has already surpassed the mile stone of million tourist arrivals in December 2012.
