Sri Lanka s second International Airport will come up at Udamattala in Lunugamvehera. Senior Presidential Advisor and Parliamentarian Basil Rajapakse said its blue print is already ready.
Initially the Airport was to be built at Weerawila. But the government had to change its decision giving ear to the people of the area and environmentalists. The Mattala area is located in between Suriyawewa, Bandagiriya and Weerawila areas. The Airport will come up on 6500 acres of the shrub area. Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka, Parliamentarian Basil Rajapakse and senior officials toured the area and monitored the construction work.
Expressing views on the occasion Minister Ranawaka said they have selected the most suitable area to construct the International Airport.
Basil Rajapakse pointed out that the area would witness massive development with the building of the Airport.

Saradial,
why are you so negative about everything. Do you think that we don't need a second air port? if so why? don't say just MR wants to do it so he can put his name on it. We don't want to hear a political view. we want to know what your heart really tell you.
If we are are to attract more travelers to the country and to cut down domestic travel times we need another airport. It will give new life to the country and to the people in the area. People will get more jobs and self employment will flourish cos there are people visiting these areas. I am sure if any one is given the chance to use the new air port, no one will say no. |

Sam I agree to all what you say . I have just lost faith why now why not 10 years ago .. what about transport health education kids sill go like salmon to school and then you expect them to concentrate in class . These uneducated guys always do the last thing first
.the day the income of politicians who are elected by the public is transparent and as public servants there income is disclosed the tax department .. and is accessible to the tax department like very other tax payer .. that s the day you know these guys are for real and are honest towards development without hidden agenda.
The British were cutthroats too when they made 10 they only put back 5 towards the public these guys makes 10 and gives in return none.
Sadly god has not blessed this community with true love
