Flughafen Weerawila
Der Flughafen Weerawila (IATA: WRZ, ICAO: VCCW) ist ein inländischer Militär- und Zivilflughafen in Weerawila im Distrikt Hambantota in Sri Lanka. Es liegt etwa 13 km nordöstlich des neu errichteten internationalen Flughafens Mattala Rajapaksa . Der Flughafen war einer der wichtigsten Standorte für die Entwicklung eines internationalen Flughafens und sollte in Weerawila Airport umbenannt werden. Das Projekt wurde später verworfen und schließlich nach Mattala verlegt, wo es Anfang 2013 unter dem Titel Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport eingeweiht wurde. Bewertung
