Second Terminal at Cochin Airport

Since opening in 1999 Cochin Airport quickly became the airport of choice for most of our customers visiting Kerala.  Not only is it centrally located but gives people a wide range of airline and schedule choices.  On 1 February 2014 work began on a new terminal which will enable COK to handle even more passengers.  It is anticipated that the new terminal will be open to the public in two and a half years.  A forth Kerala airport in Kannur has also been started (scheduled to open next year) and a fifth in Aranmulla is planned.
