LNP – Fort-Katunayake luxury buses allowed access to BIA after 6 years

The Airport and Aviation Services (Sri Lanka) has announced that luxury buses operating on the Fort-Katunayake route (No. 187) will be granted access to the departure terminal of Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) starting today (10). Â

This decision, aimed at enhancing convenience for air passengers, marks the resumption of this service after nearly six years. Â

While the buses will now be permitted to enter the road to the departure terminal, they will not be allowed to remain parked at the airport to operate the service. Â

The suspension of access to the Fort-Katunayake bus service was implemented following the 2019 Easter Sunday attacks, based on a request by security forces.
