Ratmalana International Airport (IATA: RML, ICAO: VCCC), is a international airport serving the city of Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. Ratmalana airport was declared open for small international commercial flights from August 2012. It was the country's first international airport and was the only international airport in Sri Lanka until the inauguration of Bandaranaike International Airport. The airport currently serves several domestic services and is home to several aviation training organisations. A relaxation of rules has recently seen the airport open for international corporate jet operations and charter flights. The airport is located 15 km south of the Colombo City.

Few things to consider in the next update:
1. Scenery is matching Google maps details 100%, but limited to about 2nm radius from runway. This is rather too limited for a VFR circuit, even for a small Cessna a/c. Increase the scenery to include at least 5nm 22 approach path, & up to the shoreline in 04.
2. Include few parked a/c on the aprons & inside hangars.
3. Perimeter road is hardly visible, though vehicles can be seen.
4. Better to identify the scenery as 'Colombo Ratmalana Airport', to avoid confusing with VCBI.
If southern ground scenery is extended up to VCCN, scenery will be really outstanding.
Performance wise: Very good on frames
Visuals: Beautiful with PBR and Dynamic Lights, along with photoreal aircraft near hangars and in the Air Force museum side.
Highly Recommended and worth the price!
