The Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL) is situated at a distance of 30 km (19 miles) from the city center of Cochin. It provides amenities such as pre-paid taxis, restaurants, snack bars, public telephone facility etc. It is located near important visiting areas and the presence of barren lands near the airport provides a good degree of opportunities for further growth in the vicinity. This is the reason why it has become the busiest airports in Kerala. A 3,400-meter long runway equips the airport to operate any type of commercial-service aircraft. Cochin International Airport has daily, weekly and monthly international flights to Abu Dhabi, Bandar Abbas, Colombo, Dammam, Doha, Dubai, Kuwait, Muscat, Riyadh, Sharjah, and Singapore. It also operates domestic flights to Chennai, Coimbatore, Delhi, Mumbai, Goa, Agatti, Thiruvanathapuram, Hyderabad and Bangalore.

It is very important to communicate with people at home as well as with your near and dear ones, while traveling over long distances. The Cochin International Airport provides public telephone facility at both its international and domestic terminals. Four private cubicles are provided at each of the terminals for the assistance of the passengers. The cubicles are properly lit and are provided with chairs to sit. STD, ISD as well as local calls can be made from these phones. These public telephone booths have automated coin-machines installed which do not need a person to operate it and can be easily operated by anyone.

The airport company has taken over 1.6 sq. km of land to deploy for commercial purposes. A vast project has been planned with a budget of 35-billion-rupee. It includes the construction of an 18-hole golf course, business center, hotel chains, malls, industrial and IT parks and logistics center as well as better facilities at the airport.
