How to get to the venue from Palali Airport

Palali airport is the only airport in Jaffna. It is about 25-minute car ride to the University of Jaffna. Taxi fares from Palaly Airport to Jaffna University are quite expensive. At the moment, there is no direct taxi service from the airport to Jaffna town. We recommend taking the Bus from the airport and getting down at the bus stop near the university or transferring to a taxi at the central bus stop in Jaffna. From Jaffna Town, it costs you not more than Rs. 500 for regular taxi and Rs. 250 for three-wheeler.
