Aviation museum in Katunayaka: Govt.

22 Jun 2020

By Sarah Hannan The Government of Sri Lanka is looking at establishing an aviation museum over the coming months in Katunayaka, Minister of Tourism and Aviation Prasanna Ranatunga said. “Although there is a museum at Ratmalana Airport, it depicts the history of the Sri Lanka Air Force. Therefore, the proposal to construct a museum that would narrate the story of aviation in Sri Lanka was considered to be a fitting ode to the civil aviation industry. Sri Lanka's aviation industry stood its ground in the face of adversity and continues to pull through time and time again,” Ranatunga explained. The project plan is to be drafted within the next three months, where the Ministry would look at drawing up the blueprint for the proposed museum and estimate the necessary budgetary allocation for it, the Minister added. Furthermore, the land that is earmarked for the project is acquired by a property owned by the Airport and Aviation Services Ltd. (AASL) which is adjacent to the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) premises. The project is to be spearheaded in collaboration with the Civil Aviation Authority and AASL under the purview of the Ministry of Tourism and Aviation.
