An airport taxi counter is available in the arrivals hall, but services can be limited due to low flight volumes. It is highly recommended to pre-book a taxi or private transfer in advance, especially for late arrivals. Ride-hailing apps like Uber or PickMe have very limited to no availability in this remote area.
There are no major international car rental desks within the terminal. Car rentals must be pre-arranged with local Sri Lankan companies who will arrange to meet you upon arrival. Both self-drive and chauffeur-driven options are available, but booking in advance is essential.
Public transportation options are extremely limited and not recommended for travelers. There are no regular, scheduled bus services operating directly from the airport terminal. The nearest train station is a considerable distance away, requiring a separate taxi journey.
