## Description

The Sri Lanka Air Force runs China Bay Airport (TRR) at Trincomalee, alongside limited domestic passenger flights. The airport has no cargo terminal or freight customs facility, so air shipments move by road to Bandaranaike International (CMB) near Colombo. The real logistics asset here is the sea: Trincomalee's natural deep-water harbour ranks among the finest in the world and handles the region's freight. Carriers and forwarders therefore treat Trincomalee as a seaport, with TRR a domestic field rather than a cargo airport. Naval heritage and the bay's depth have shaped the town for centuries.
