In a new move to revitalize and maximize the potential of the Mattala International Airport, Sri Lanka has entered into an agreement to hand over the operations of the airport to a private joint venture between Russian and Indian entities.

This development is poised to reshape the future of Mattala International Airport and foster collaboration between the two nations.

Under the terms of the agreement, all operational activities at Mattala International Airport will be managed and executed by the Russian-Indian Private Joint Venture.

This marks a departure from traditional models of airport management and aims to leverage the expertise and resources of both nations to elevate the airport's efficiency and overall performance.
