## Description

Pilgrims far outnumber freight at Anuradhapura Airport (ACJ), which shares its site with a Sri Lanka Air Force base beside the ancient UNESCO-listed capital. Domestic flights aside, there is no scheduled cargo and no based freighter here. Air shipments from the North Central Province travel by road to Bandaranaike International (CMB) near Colombo, the country's sole full-service cargo airport. For logistics operators, ACJ is a regional feeder rather than a handling station. The sacred Sri Maha Bodhi tree nearby keeps the city on the pilgrimage map year-round.
