Title: Colombo airport in night closure
Post by: casper on May 03, 2007, 09:42:59 PM
Officials at Sri Lanka's only international airport have ordered it to be closed at night time following a series of Tamil Tiger air strikes.

They say that closure will come into effect from next week.

The Bandaranaike International Airport, which shares a runway with an adjoining military base, will close between 2230 and 0430 from 10 May.
