India to invest in 'world's emptiest airport' in Sri Lanka
India will develop Sri Lanka's loss-making Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport in Hambantota, called the 'world's emptiest airport'. With India's investment, the project is expected to handle 5 million passengers, 50,000-ton cargo, and over 6000 air traffic operations every year by 2028. This comes in the backdrop of China developing the Hambantota seaport project in the country.
