The Ministry of Ports and Civil Aviation, acting on behalf of Airport and Aviation Services (Sri Lanka) (Private) Limited (AASL), has called for Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for a range of commercial opportunities at the airport.
Authorities said the initiative aims to unlock the untapped potential of MRIA and position it as a regional hub for aviation, logistics and tourism-related industries.
The investment drive includes opportunities in airport operations, cargo services, logistics, Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) operations, renewable energy, industrial parks and hospitality projects.
Officials highlighted the airport’s proximity to the Hambantota Port and key international shipping lanes as a strategic advantage for integrated air-sea connectivity.
The government is offering flexible investment models, including joint ventures, public-private partnerships and direct investments.
The Board of Investment of Sri Lanka (BOI) will facilitate engagement with prospective investors and stakeholders.
