Hier kann man sich ein Bild von der Hektik und Betriebsamkeit am Flughafen machen
Hallo,
hat jemand genauere Infos über eine mögliche Umleitung der Flüge? Wir planen im Sommer wieder nach Arugam zu fahren, da wäre mir MRIA statt CMB nicht unrecht. 2,5 statt 10 Stunden Anreise.
Fly Dubai fliegt Mattala nun täglich an, sonst schaut es dort weiterhin eher traurig aus.
Aber bald soll es dort ja zugehen wie in Gatwick:

Peacocks damaged a Flydubai flight at the Mattala airport today forcing the plane to be temporarily grounded, sources told the Colombo Gazette. At least two peacocks had damaged one engine of the Dubai airline when it was about to takeoff with passengers on board.
The passengers in the plane were later taken off the flight and transferred to a hotel till alternative arrangements were made, officials said.
Incidents where birds damage planes at the Mattala airport had been reported on previous occasions as well.
He said one permanent solution would be to carry
out a mass-scale culling of the peacocks but this is bound to raise a storm of protests from people and religious leaders from across the country.
Meanwhile wildlife experts and activists warned of a disaster unless the authorities addressed the matter with the utmost seriousness and at the very earliest.
Colombo University’s zoology lecturer Dr. Devaka Weerakoon said the authorities must draw up a serious wild life management plan.“Incidents where wildlife has interfered with flying aircraft are common all over the world, but the situation in Mattala is different since the complex is situated in and around the flight path of thousands of migratory birds and other animals,” he said.
Bislang ist mir keine Fluglinie - außer Srilankan und Condor - bekannt, die Sri Lanka von Europa aus, direkt anfliegt.Ethiad und Oman Air haben nun wohl Interesse angemeldet. Ich denke aber eher an Zwischenlandungen aus arabischen Ländern und Flüge aus Europa sind sicher auch in den nächsten Monaten kein Thema.
