Colombo International Airport is expected to select the contractor for its Terminal II project by the end of November. An English company specializing in airport infrastructure is among the candidates under consideration as the primary contractor for the development.

The Terminal II expansion at Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) is a significant infrastructure project aimed at increasing the airport's capacity and modernizing its facilities. The selection process has experienced some delays, but officials now anticipate receiving the final proposals by late November, which will enable the awarding of the contract to proceed.

Details regarding the bidding process or the shortlisted firms have not been disclosed publicly. The development of Terminal II is viewed as a critical step in enhancing Sri Lanka’s aviation infrastructure to accommodate growing passenger traffic and improve the country’s connectivity to international markets.

Once completed, the new terminal is expected to boost operational efficiency and passenger experience at BIA, which serves as a key gateway to Sri Lanka. Authorities remain committed to advancing the project promptly following the contractor selection to meet projected timelines.
