MACL Urges Early Arrival at VIA Amid Eid Rush and Roadworks
MACL has issued an advisory urging travelers to arrive well in advance at Velana International Airport amid an Eid al-Adha passenger surge, longer check-in and security queues, and ongoing roadworks causing congestion around the airport. The article states a new international terminal is set to open by July 26, 2025, raising capacity to up to 7 million passengers annually with contact gates, more immigration counters and an updated baggage system.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
