Are flights disrupted by the Ditwah cyclone weather.
3 Answers from travellers
No, international flights arriving at the Bandaranaike International Airport in Colombo are completely unaffected by the recent cyclone. The severe weather system passed through the island weeks ago.
The airport infrastructure is highly robust and operates completely normally even during standard monsoon rains. You do not need to worry about massive weather related delays or cancellations for your arrival.
Always check your specific airline app for standard operational updates, but the local weather is currently clear and sunny on the west coast.
Scam Watch: colombo
Driver claims the meter is broken and quotes an inflated flat rate. Common on arrival at airport or railway stations when tourists are tired and disoriented.
Drivers wearing official-looking uniforms claim to be "government-approved" and charge 3-5x normal rates. They may have fake badges or ID cards.
Women with babies approach asking you to buy milk powder at a nearby shop (not cash). The shop is run by accomplices and charges 5-10x normal price.
