900 metre runway is too short and even expanding it to 1400metre isn't good enough for an A320 or a 737. Palalli doesn't have space to extend the runway further either. Even 1400 metre is very tight and they probably have to cut a road going across. I guess there will never be a flight going from Europe to Jaffna or even from Mumbai or Delhi. Most likely it will be a Chennai/Bangalore/Colombo/ Trichy connection through smaller plane like Dash 8. I guess it is better than going on a train or driving like 11 hours.
Same with Batticaloa airport, it literally has no space as it is surrounded by waters on both end of the runway. Same crap with Trincomalee airport.
