The Hingurakgoda Airport Development Project had been initiated by the previous Government without any business plan in place, the Government has claimed.
Deputy Minister of Ports and Civil Aviation Janitha Ruwan Kodithuwakku noted that approximately half of the expanded runway at the Hingurakgoda Airport had already been completed under the previous administration.
Accordingly, he stated that given the substantial expenditure already incurred, the Government intended to proceed with the completion of the runway.However, he expressed concern that the development project had been initiated without a sound business plan.
“They started constructing the runway without any business plan. Since the money spent will go to waste, we will construct it. After that, we will have to come up with a business plan on what to do with it.
