Hambantota International Airport (HIA), also known as Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport (MRIA), is the second international airport in Sri Lanka. The airport is named after the country’s president, Mahinda Rajapaksa. The airport is located in Hambantota, 241km south-east of Sri Lanka’s capital city, Colombo, and is operated by Sri Lanka’s Airport and Aviation Services.



The airport has the capacity to handle one million passengers a year and is expected to handle five million passengers, 50,000t of cargo and 6,250 air traffic operations per annum by 2028.

An automated fuel hydrant system and a state-of-art aviation refuelling terminal were opened at the airport in 2014. The fuel hydrant system is located within the apron and was constructed by China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) with a $7m investment. The aviation refuelling terminal and the 1.2km-long interconnecting pipelines were built by Dubai-based Amana Pipeline Construction with a $31m investment.

The airport was built in an area of 2,000ha, with funding from the Chinese government. The airport construction is divided into two phases. Covering an area of 800ha, phase one began in 2009 and included the construction of basic airport facilities, a runway, an apron, passenger and cargo terminals, taxi way, access roads and other facilities.

The construction of phase one was completed in 2012 and the airport was officially opened in March 2013 by the president. The phase two development, named Hambantota International Airport Expansion and Facilities Upgrading Project, was awarded to China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) in 2013. The project was funded through a $100m concessional loan lent by Export-Import Bank of China.

The expansion includes upgraded hangar, airport terminal and facilities, as well as the construction of new parallel taxiway, a new cargo apron parking stand, taxiway and hangar. Phase two is expected to be completed by 2017.
