Is free Wi-Fi available at Colombo Airport?

Free Wi-Fi is available around Colombo Airport for all passengers; you can reach it by attaching to the network called “BIA FREE WI-FI”. Still, you may need to register via a captive portal, which may ask for an SMS verification code, before the access fully works.

Generally, the connection speed is okay for email checking and quick messaging, but during rush hours, it can become unstable. If you need a steady, fast link for video calls or downloading big files, buying a local data SIM right after arrival is the best alternative.
