Flights to Negombo
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Negombo is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Bandaranaike International Colombo Airport (CMB), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, whose 10,991-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Colombo Ratmalana International Airport (RML, 43 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bandaranaike International Colombo Airport | CMB | 6 km (4 mi) | 10,991 ft | 30 ft |
| Colombo Ratmalana International Airport | RML | 43 km (27 mi) | 6,013 ft | 22 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,991 ft, CMB can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 30 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
