The first project invites proposals for a feasibility study on the expansion of Jaffna International Airport (JIA) at Palaly. Reputed airport consultancy firms that meet specific criteria are encouraged to submit proposals. A pre-proposal conference and site visit are scheduled for January 8, 2025, at JIA.
