Why It Matters

馬塔拉拉賈帕克薩國際機場於2013年啟用,資金主要來自中國進出口銀行貸款,但客流量長期不如預期。

中國進出口銀行融資建設的馬塔拉拉賈帕克薩國際機場(MRIA),自2013年啟用以來一直面臨營運挑戰。

曾被外媒嘲笑「世界最空國際機場」的斯里蘭卡馬塔拉拉賈帕克薩國際機場(MRIA),今年4月傳出營收甚至不足以支付電費,政府急著尋找投資者接手。時隔4個多月,這個「燙手山芋」仍未找到新的營運者,最新官方數據更顯示,機場每天虧損600萬至700萬斯里蘭卡盧比(約台幣58萬至67萬),全年虧損約40億盧比(約台幣3.84億)。

MRIA於2013年啟用,耗資約2.09億美元(約台幣66億),興建資金主要來自中國進出口銀行貸款,也由中資承建。原本規劃每年可接待100萬名旅客,當初被寄望成為斯里蘭卡第二座國際航空門戶。

然而,機場啟用後客流始終不如預期,甚至被冠上「世界最空國際機場」稱號。斯里蘭卡審計資料顯示,統計的6年間,這座機場累計淨損約393.69億斯里蘭卡盧比(約台幣37.8億)。沉重負擔還不只如此,相關外國貸款每年利息成本約20.5億斯里蘭卡盧比(約台幣1.9億)。

斯里蘭卡總統府今年7月揭露,MRIA目前每天仍虧掉600萬至700萬盧比,全年損失約40億盧比,要求相關國營機構改善財務管理,未來開發計畫不能再增加納稅人負擔。

這座機場還遭官員公開砲轟。斯里蘭卡交通暨公路副部長Prasanna Gunasena 8月在國會直指,包括MRIA在內的一些大型建設,過去在缺乏適當可行性研究下,受到政治利益及個人意志左右,如今已成為國家的「白象工程」及沉重經濟負擔。他更批評,過去部分領導人推動建設時,考量的是自己的家鄉,而不是國家利益。

為了替MRIA尋找出路,斯里蘭卡政府今年4月重新對外招商,開放國內外投資者提出機場營運及周邊商業開發計畫。政府最終收到19份投資意向書。截至9月最新進度,斯里蘭卡政府仍在評估相關提案,尚未敲定新的營運者。也就是說,在新投資者正式進場以前,這座長年虧損的機場仍得由斯里蘭卡政府繼續苦撐。

Open Questions

  • 斯里蘭卡政府最終將由哪家投資者接手機場?
  • 未來是否能成功減輕國家財政負擔?
