## Description

The Sri Lanka Air Force operates China Bay Airport (TRR/VCCT) at Trincomalee, with civil use in 2026 limited essentially to Cinnamon Air's small-aircraft link to Colombo. Runway 06/24 is asphalt and about 2,397 metres long, technically adequate for larger types, yet there is no cargo terminal, no freighter handling and no air-freight customs post. Shipments for Sri Lanka's east coast therefore clear at Bandaranaike International (CMB) near Colombo and travel the remaining 250-odd road kilometres by truck. The region's logistical weight sits on the water in any case: Trincomalee holds one of the world's largest natural deep-water harbours, handling bulk and project cargo. Read multimodally, that means air freight through Colombo, sea freight through Trincomalee and road distribution in between. Planners moving time-critical goods east should budget several hours for the road leg from Colombo.
