Ground Transportation
Taxis
Taxis and three-wheelers (tuk-tuks) are the most common and convenient way to travel from the airport. They are typically available outside the arrivals area. It is highly recommended to negotiate and agree on a fixed price with the driver before starting your trip, as meters are not always used. Some local ride-hailing apps may have limited service in the area.
Rental Cars
There are no major international car rental counters located directly at Jaffna International Airport. Car rentals, which often come with a driver, must be arranged in advance through local travel agencies or car hire services in Jaffna town. Self-drive options are very limited and require pre-booking.
Public Transportation
Direct public bus services from the airport terminal to Jaffna city are not regularly scheduled. To use public transport, you would need to walk from the terminal to the main road to catch a local bus heading towards Jaffna. This is the most budget-friendly option but can be inconvenient, especially when carrying luggage.
