Airport Shuttle Services in Sri Lanka

At Sri Lankan airports, travelers can access a variety of shuttle and taxi options. Bandaranaike International Airport (Colombo) itself “offers transportation via shuttle, bus, train and taxi services” to meet passenger needs. Continuum Aviation’s airport shuttle services in Sri Lanka complement these options with private, door-to-door transfers. For example, guests arriving at BIA can book a Continuum shuttle directly to Colombo city, Negombo, or even farther resorts. Our drivers meet flights at the gate, assist with luggage, and convey guests in spacious air-conditioned vehicles. All drivers are fully vetted and familiar with local roads, ensuring safety beyond airport limits.

The Sri Lankan government has recently “implemented comprehensive measures” to enhance airport safety. Continuum’s land transport service aligns with this emphasis on security: our vehicles are GPS-tracked, our staff follows strict background checks, and we comply with any airport security screening protocols for vehicles. We also offer multi-day shuttle packages for groups, e.g. chartered vans for tourism or corporate delegations. In short, Continuum’s Sri Lanka shuttle service ensures that once passengers clear immigration, their onward journey is handled promptly and comfortably – a seamless end-to-end airport experience.

FAQs – Airport Shuttle Services Sri Lanka

What shuttle services does BIA provide?

Besides app taxis (PickMe, Uber) and public buses, AASL runs an official airport taxi and shuttle service. BIA’s official shuttle and taxi desks are located just outside the arrivals hall. Continuum provides pre-booked private shuttles.

How do I book a Continuum shuttle?

Request through your travel agent, email, or phone. Provide flight details and arrival time. We’ll confirm the shuttle and driver, who will have your name on a placard

Are the Continuum shuttles clean and safe?

Yes. Vehicles are routinely cleaned and maintained. Our drivers hold commercial licenses and are trained in defensive driving. We also carry insurance and first-aid kits in each vehicle.

What languages do drivers speak?

Drivers speak English and can also converse in Sinhala or Tamil. They are courteous and can guide you about local customs if requested.

Can the shuttle wait during layovers?

For short domestic flight connections (which are not common at BIA), shuttles can wait up to 30 minutes. For long overnight layovers, continuity involves re-booking the next day.

How much does the shuttle cost?

Rates depend on distance and vehicle type. For example, a sedan to Colombo (30 km) is roughly USD 35–40, an SUV around USD 45–50. We provide fixed quotes upfront, covering tolls and parking.

Is tipping expected?

Tipping is not mandatory. If you feel service was excellent, a small gratuity (10–15% of fare) is appreciated by drivers.

How early should I book?

As early as possible. We recommend at least 24 hours ahead to ensure vehicle availability, especially during peak tourist season.

What if my flight is delayed?

Contact Continuum or our partner on WhatsApp. Our drivers track flights via FlightAware and will adjust pickup time without extra charge for reasonable delays.

Do you serve other airports in Sri Lanka?

Yes. We cover all domestic and international airports, including Mattala (HRI) and Koggala (KCT), as long as ground transport is permitted.

What if I need wheelchair assistance?

Inform us when booking. Our drivers can assist wheelchair users into suitably accessible vehicles. The shuttle will wait to ensure you are comfortably on board.

What about COVID or health screening?

Sri Lanka has lifted most COVID restrictions. However, Continuum ensures drivers wear masks upon request and vehicles are disinfected daily. Hand sanitizer is available in every car.

Can I use shuttle on departure?

Yes, we offer return pickups. Book the shuttle to collect you from your hotel in time to reach the airport 2–3 hours before international flights. The driver will navigate airport drop-off and baggage check if needed.

Specialising in both international and domestic aircrafts, we seamlessly manage arrivals, departures, and all aspects of ground support.
