## Description

On Sri Lanka's east coast, beside the wide Batticaloa lagoon, Batticaloa Airport (BTC) runs domestic services toward Colombo. It has no cargo terminal, customs post or freighter line; the field is built for light passenger traffic. Regional air freight is trucked to Bandaranaike International (CMB), where clearance and loading take place. For forwarders, BTC is honestly a feeder, not a handling point. The town is known for its lagoon and the local legend of the "singing fish".
