May 28, Colombo (LNW): To alleviate traffic congestion, the Katunayake Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) has implemented a ban on parking driverless vehicles outside the Arrival Terminal.
This is part of a broader initiative to improve vehicle parking and handling procedures at the airport.
Under the new measures, vehicles arriving to collect incoming passengers must do so at specified times, departing from designated parking areas.
Additionally, drivers who linger on airport premises for over 30 minutes without valid reason, despite warnings from officials, will incur a special fee upon exiting the airport.
Athula Galketiya, Chairman of Airport and Aviation Services (Sri Lanka) Limited, said these regulations aim to streamline passenger transport services at BIA and curb the entry of unauthorised individuals and vehicles.
