Anuradhapura Airport — Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka

Anuradhapura Airport, sitting at 324 feet above sea level, serves the Sri Lankan city of the same name in North Central Province with a single runway. Traffic here stays far lighter than at Sri Lanka's main international gateway near Colombo. Anuradhapura itself is one of the island's most visited inland cities, drawing travelers to its ancient sites, and the airport offers a domestic alternative to the long road journey from the capital region. Smaller aircraft and charter operations fill most of the schedule rather than large scheduled jets, reflecting demand that is real but modest compared with Sri Lanka's coastal tourism centers.
