Travelling from Edinburgh to Cochin (also known as Kochi) is a long-haul journey connecting Scotland with the tropical south-west coast of India. Flights typically depart from Edinburgh Airport (EDI), Scotland’s busiest airport, located around 8 miles west of Edinburgh city centre. The destination is Cochin International Airport (COK), positioned in Nedumbassery, about 17 miles north-east of central Kochi in the state of Kerala.
There are no direct flights on this route, so travellers will usually have at least one stopover. Southall Travel collaborates with a range of well-regarded international carriers such as Qatar Airways, Emirates, Etihad Airways, and British Airways, often routing passengers via major hubs like Doha, Dubai, or Abu Dhabi. Typical journey times, including layovers, range from 13 to 17 hours, depending on the airline and connection time.
While most Edinburgh to Cochin itineraries end at COK, some customers also enquire about nearby Indian destinations like Amritsar, whose airport – Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport (ATQ), is located about 7 miles north-west of the city centre. For those looking to continue overland, the Amritsar Junction railway station is the nearest major train hub, situated about 6 miles from the airport, offering connections across Punjab and to Delhi.
