Airport guide

Colombo Ratmalana Airport (VCCC) is a medium airport in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code VCCC or IATA code RML. It sits in Asia.

Colombo Ratmalana Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Colombo Ratmalana Airport sits near sea level at 22 ft.

Local operations run on Asia/Colombo. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.

Background from Wikipedia

Ratmalana International Airport, is the secondary international airport serving the city of Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. It was the country's first international airport and was the only international airport in Sri Lanka until the inauguration of Bandaranaike International Airport, Katunayake, in 1967. The airport currently serves several domestic services and is home to several aviation training organisations. A relaxation of rules has recently seen the airport open for international corporate jet operations and charter flights. The airport is located 15 km south of Colombo.
