Sri Lanka Air Force Sigiriya

The Airfield at Sigiriya was initially established by the Royal Air Force in 1942, during the World War
II. Since there was no requirement, after WW II, it was abandoned by the RAF in 1946.

The present Station was declared open by late Honourable Lalith Athulathmudali Minister of National Security and Deputy Minister of Defence on 19th April 1985 on the invitation of the Commander of the Air Force, Air Marshal DC Perera.

The airfield is equipped with facilities to support medium/light transport aircraft. Commercial airline operators also use this airfield since it is situated close to Sigiriya Rock, which is a very popular tourist destination.









SLAF Sigiriya is commanded by Group Captain BWDNM Samarakoon.
