Katunayake Aero City

D R A F T

D R A F T

Aero City, a concerted and highly

coordinated effort is required

of local government officials,

community and business leaders,

and all concerned stakeholders.

Success begins with a unified

vision – enhance BIA

position as A WORLD CLASS FINANCIAL, BUSINESS LOGISTICS

AND DISTRIBUTION HUB, arranging

resources and LEVERAGING

ASSETS TO ATTRACT BUSINESS, MIDDLE CLASS COMMUNITY FROM ASIA-PACIFIC ,

ENGAGE MORE TOURIST ATTRACTIONS

CREATE EMPLOYMENT, ENHANCE

NEIGHBORHOODS, and otherwise

PROMOTE ECONOMIC and COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

Why could Aero city will work better in Asia than Western Nations?

• Most (although not all) new Asian airports are greenfield developments, or at least in less developed

areas

• Better able to master plan to adopt the Aerotropolis model, rather than a “compromised” Areo city

model

• Less or no retrofitting, which is expensive, less effective and inevitably constrained by existing airport

development

• Asia’s speed of current & future economic growth means that Aerotropolis fits into a context of

growth, entrepreneurship, opportunity and relatively less competition with other industry sectors

• Western nations are facing relatively low growth, saturated markets – benefits can take time to realise

• In Asia a good idea/product can take hold very quickly – speed to market is always important -

Aerotropolis can facilitate production and distribution

D R A F T Katunayake proposed to develop as Aero City with the potential of existing

Airport & the strategic location of Asia Pacific region

Occupies 314 sq.km with the aim of developing World Class business hub whilepromoting airport related activities and to develop one of major touristdestination

Proposed

Aero City

• Currently it serve a population of approx. 484,000 (Department of Census &Statistics, 2012) and it is projected to increase by 892,000 approx. in 2030.

• Land has been utilized for different kinds of developments, including hotels,plantations, and places of religious worship.

As the global economy grows and becomes more

interconnected, Europe, Asia pacific, and the Middle

East have become higher rate of developing regional

airport cities, with the Sri Lanka is a central location

along the trade route of the modern business world,

connecting both East and West. Sri Lankan Airlines is a

highly recognized global carrier, serving 45 destinations

in 25 countries across Europe, the Middle East, South

Asia, South East Asia and the Far East.

According to the report of “world airport traffic report” 2009 done by

airport council international (ACI), BIA’s world rank in terms of;

Passenger movements is 259.

Air craft movements rank is 518.

Cargo handling BIA ranked in 107 in world wide.

Global connect ions wi th B IA…..

Why we need Aero c i ty i n Katunayake?

• Sri Lanka, unlike the other South Asian nations, is located

in the CENTER of the INDIAN OCEAN at a

STRATEGIC POSITION by being the most competitive

regional seaport/airport in the whole Asia.

• Global opportunity of attracting MIDDLE CLASS in ASIA-

PACIFIC, mainly aiming EMERGING MARKETS for CHINA

& INDIAN middle class people.

• Global opportunities of; R&D as a main catalyst for the

economic development strategy in world / increasing

demand in BUSINESS TOURIST attractions in Asia Pacific

Region / Growing demand on AERONAUTICAL

ENGINEERING and Airplane PARTS MANUFACTURING

and REPAIRING INDUSTRY CAPABILITY.

World-wide commercial passenger traffic will

increase from 4.9 billion to 13.3 billion 2010-

2030.

Press release

By 2030 two­thirds of global middle class will be in Asia­Pacific

London, 25 April 2013

By 2030, two­thirds of the global middle class will be residents of the Asia­

Pacific region, while Europe’s share of this population will have dropped by

14% according to EY’s Hitting the sweet spot report, released today. 

Over the next two decades, middle class expected to expand by another three billion

Chinese middle class expected to reach one billion by 2030

The report, produced in collaboration with the Ernst &Young /SKOLKOVO Institute for Emerging Markets Studies,

defines the middle class as people earning between US$10 and US$100 per day. At this level, consumers start

having the kind of disposable incomes that will allow them to buy the cars, televisions and other goods. People in

this income bracket can be considered a “global middle class” – middle class by the standards of any country.

In Asia alone, 525 million people can already count themselves as middle class – more than the total population

of the European Union. Over the next two decades, it is estimated that the middle class will expand by another

three billion, coming almost exclusively from the emerging world.  A significant proportion of the new Asian

middle classes are also expected to be at the upper end of the income bracket and boast impressive spending

power.

Alexis Karklins Marchay, co­Leader of EY’s Emerging Markets Center, “By 2030, as more and more people enter

the middle class it is hoped that this growing cohort of consumers with new money and new demands can help to

keep the floundering global economy afloat.”

Chinese middle class expected to reach one billion by 2030

China and India will become the powerhouses of middle class consumerism over the next two decades although

other rapid­growth markets such as Mexico and Brazil will also contribute. Nevertheless, the Chinese and Indian

contributions will be substantial. Today, China has around 150 million people who are considered to be part of the

global middle class within the next decade this expected to have reached 500 million. By 2030 around one billion

people in China could be middle class – as much as 70% of its projected population.

India’s global middle class, meanwhile, is much smaller at around 50 million people, or 5% of the population. EY

estimates that this group will grow steadily over the next decade, reaching 200 million by 2020. After this, India’s

middle class growth is really expected to accelerate, reaching 475 million people by 2030 and adding more than

the Chinese to the global middle class worldwide after 2027.

A changing world

By 2030, there will be a much broader distribution of incomes around the world. While millions have been brought

out of poverty over the last few decades it is only recently that we have begun to see the impact of the rising

middle classes across the emerging markets. However, the report suggests that despite the growth of spending

in emerging markets far outstripping developed market spending in recent years, there is still some way to go

Why we need Aero c i ty i n Katunayake?

• It is evident that the countries like Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, turned around as

they became Asian economic miracles using Airport City concept and its vast

economic benefits.

• Strength of Airport reflect the power of the country.

Airports have become regional economic

accelerators of:• Providing accessibility, speed and agility to global supply

chains

• Connecting business people to their customers

• Serving commercial needs of millions of air passengers

and airport-area visitors annually

• Creating significant employment, shopping, trading and

business destinations in their own right

As a result of that we are seeing:• Rapid commercial development around many major

airports

• Airports developing a “brand image” of attracting

non-airport linked businesses

BIA Expans ion

Second Runway & Associated Infrastructure at BIA Katunaye Bandaranayake International Airport currently functions with a Runner-way and a Terminal. The facilities at present in the BI A can’t cater

the expected future arrivals.

The predicted passenger / tourist number to the BIA will be 30 mn by 2030. As per the predictions and Megapolis goals and economic targets, the

need of second Runner-way becomes very vital.

According to the analytical studies project team has identifies two options as demonstrate in the following figure.

Business City is a strong, vibrant city center which is a mix of retail

businesses, professional services and tourism and hospitality,

generating a range of activities to attract residents and visitors

Business City

Due to the growth in tourism where the passenger movement

though the BIA is expected to increase several folds, high demand f

or transit facilities is expected.

Passenger arrivals are expected to increase from 7,820,000 2014 to

300,000,000 2030. Establishment of new businesses and commercial

operations related to Airport activities are needed to absorb the

increasing demand.

The nearest town is Negombo located 5km away is congested and

highly populated with many establish activities.

A new township at Katana located 5Km away with all modern urban

facilities to meet expected demand is proposed
