The Cochin International Airport is the fourth busiest of all airports in India. Hence it has to provide amenities that make the journey of all the passengers arriving at or departing from the airport a enjoyable experience. Pre-paid taxis are easily available outside the airport to assist the passengers in reaching to different destinations. It can boast of owning a 3400 meter long runway. It is the busiest airport in Kerala as it is located in a place surrounded by undeveloped land and is near to all the major tourist spots. It is among a few airports in India which can handle the Airbus 380s. During the year 2006-2007 the airport witnessed a 2.5 million passenger traffic including both domestic and international traffic.

Restaurants and snack bars are available at both the international and domestic terminals of Cochin International Airport. The restaurants provide for all kinds of continental and oriental dishes as well as different cuisines of the world. However, it is the traditional dishes of Kerala that are the most sought-after in these restaurants. The restaurants allow foreign tourists and visitors get a taste of the local cuisine as soon as they land at the Cochin Airport. The quality of the food that is served is excellent. Hygiene and taste are the two things that are never compromised upon in these restaurants and snack bars. The snack bars are famous for their steaming hot coffee or tea and the spicy take-away fast food items. Pizzas, burgers and sandwiches are the favorite choices of all those who rush in for a bite before boarding on the flight or after returning from a long and tiring flight.

However, the restaurants and snack bars at the domestic terminal serve mostly the local dishes that are preferred by the local people. Pulaos, pilaffs and biriyanis, Pootu, Iddlis or fluffy white steamed cakes and dosas, Thorans, Avial, Olen, Malayalee Pachadi, Sambar Appams, Appams, Kallappams or Vellayappams and Meen vevichathu are some of the favorite local dishes of Kerala.
