Located approximately {{Convert|9.5|km|miles|abbr=on}} south east of the town of Kilinochchi, the airport is also known as Kilinochchi Airport and SLAF Iranamadu. Originally built by the rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam in 2003, it was captured by the Sri Lankan military in 2009 and taken over by the Sri Lanka Air Force. HistoryThe rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam first built an airstrip in Iranamadu in the early 1990s. In 1993 they started clearing land south east of the Iranamadu Tank and over the next two years constructed a runway which was opened by LTTE leader V. Prabhakaran on 19 March 1995.[1] The runway was then bombed and destroyed by the Sri Lanka Air Force.[1][2] In late 2003, during the Norwegian facilitated ceasefire, the LTTE started clearing land at another site, east of Iranamadu Tank.[1] Within a year the LTTE had built a {{Convert|1200|m|ft|abbr=on}} runway.[1] The air force bombed the airstrip several times, indulging in June 2006 after the Kebithigollewa massacre.[3] The airstrip was the launchpad for a number of Air Tigers attacks including the raid on Anuradhapura Air Force Base in October 2007.[4] The Sri Lankan military captured the airstrip on 15 January 2009.[5][6] A Sri Lanka Air Force detachment moved onto the site on 21 June 2009.[7][8] The airstrip became an air station on 3 August 2011.[9] The airstrip was reconstructed in 2011 and opened for light aircraft.[10][11] The airstrip was then converted into an airport with a {{Convert|1500|m|ft|abbr=on}} runway capable of handling the air force's Lockheed C-130 Hercules and Antonov An-32 aircraft.[12][13] The new airport was officially opened by President Mahinda Rajapaksa, becoming the country's 16th domestic airport.[14] Airlines and destinations{{Airport destination list| Helitours | Colombo-Ratmalana }} References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite news|last=Athas|first=Iqbal|title=Air Force report shows it all|url=http://www.sundaytimes.lk/050327/columns/sitrep.html|newspaper=The Sunday Times (Sri Lanka)|date=27 March 2005|authorlink=Iqbal Athas}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=Air Tigers acquired a twin-engine aircraft before Tsunami|url=http://www.island.lk/2005/04/03/defence.html|newspaper=The Island (Sri Lanka)|date=3 April 2005}} 3. ^{{cite news|last=Athas|first=Iqbal|title=A full-scale war about to begin|url=http://sundaytimes.lk/060618/columns/sitrep.html|newspaper=The Sunday Times (Sri Lanka)|date=18 June 2006|authorlink=Iqbal Athas}} 4. ^{{cite news|last=Ferdinando|first=Shamindra|title=Vanni east landscape transformed with new airfield, major SLAF station|url=http://www.island.lk/index.php?page_cat=article-details&page=article-details&code_title=81486|newspaper=The Island (Sri Lanka)|date=16 June 2013}} 5. ^{{cite news|last=Hariharan|first=R.|title=Looks like Prabakaran’s last battle|url=http://www.island.lk/2009/01/23/features4.html|newspaper=The Island (Sri Lanka)|date=23 January 2009}} 6. ^{{cite news|last=Berenger|first=Leon|title=Armed forces poised to take last bastion of LTTE|url=http://www.sundaytimes.lk/090118/News/sundaytimesnews_20.html|newspaper=The Sunday Times (Sri Lanka)|date=18 January 2009}} 7. ^{{cite news|title=SLAF Iranamadu base completes one year SLAF Iranamadu base completes one year|url=http://www.adaderana.lk/news.php?nid=8493|newspaper=adaderana.lk|date=11 June 2010}} 8. ^{{cite news|last=Weerakoon|first=Gagani|title=The jungle airstrip|url=http://www.ceylontoday.lk/64-35161-news-detail-the-jungle-airstrip.html|newspaper=Ceylon Today|date=16 June 2013}} 9. ^{{cite news|last=Nathaniel|first=Camelia|title=Conquering another frontier|url=http://www.ceylontoday.lk/51-23449-news-detail-conquering-another-frontier.html|newspaper=Ceylon Today|date=2 February 2013}} 10. ^{{cite news|title=President opens SL’s 16th domestic airport in Iranamadu|url=http://www.ceylontoday.lk/51-35201-news-detail-president-opens-sls-16th-domestic-airport-in-iranamadu.html|newspaper=Ceylon Today|date=17 June 2013}} 11. ^{{cite news|title=The reconstructed Iranamadu airstrip declared open by President Mahinda Rajapaksa|url=http://www.asiantribune.com/node/62859|newspaper=Asian Tribune|date=16 June 2013}} 12. ^{{cite news|title=Video: Iranamadu Air strip opened|url=http://www.dailymirror.lk/news/30958-iranamadu-air-strip-opened.html|newspaper=The Daily Mirror (Sri Lanka)|date=15 June 2013}} 13. ^{{cite news|title=Expanded Iranamadu Airstrip Opens|url=http://www.thesundayleader.lk/2013/06/16/expanded-iranamadu-airstrip-opens/|newspaper=The Sunday Leader|date=15 June 2013}} 14. ^{{cite news|title=President opens Iranamadu airstrip|url=http://www.ft.lk/2013/06/17/president-opens-iranamadu-airstrip/|newspaper=Daily FT|date=17 June 2013}} External links
