In Pictures: Opening of the new Bandaranaike International Airport runway
The renovated runway of the Bandaranaike International Airport was launched yesterday enabling the airport to return to its normal flight schedule from midnight today.
A newly acquired aircraft by SriLankan Airlines from Trivandrum, India with 121 passengers was the first to land following a ceremony presided over by Minister Transport and Civil Aviation Nimal Sripala de Silva.
Mr de Silva said if the renovation had not taken place there would have been a position that flights will not be able to land from next year onwards..
