Koggala Airport — Galle, Sri Lanka

Koggala Airport (KCT) is located near Galle on the southern coast of Sri Lanka, close to Koggala Lake and the coastal tourist areas popular for beaches and surfing. Originally built as a Royal Air Force seaplane base during World War II due to Koggala's strategic coastal position, the airport has since been repurposed at various points for limited domestic and charter flights, particularly serving tourists heading to Sri Lanka's southern beach resorts. KCT has seen intermittent operations rather than sustained scheduled commercial service, with usage often tied to tourism promotion efforts for the Galle and southern coast region. The area surrounding KCT is known for stilt fishing, colonial Dutch architecture in nearby Galle Fort, and turtle hatcheries, making the airport a potential but historically underused gateway to southern Sri Lankan tourism.
