List of airports in Kerala

Add article description

Kerala state has four operational international airports as of 2023 and is, along with Tamil Nadu, an Indian state with four international airports.[1] Kerala is also the only state with the closest proximity to multiple international/domestic airports in the country. All four international airports lie in very close proximity, which makes it easy for the people in Kerala to access air travel. The state also has four defence airports that are widely used by the Indian Armed Forces. Airports in Kerala[2] provide domestic transport, support tourism in Kerala and also serve the high number of expatriates belonging to the state. The presently operating airports in the state of Kerala are as follows:

The first airport was started in Quilon during the 1920s but ceased operation when an accident involving a training aircraft at the boundary of the aerodrome resulted in the death of the pilot and the trainee.[3] There are two defence airports also situated in Kerala, each being operated by the Indian Navy and Indian Air Force.
