Flights to Thiruvananthapuram (TRV) Airport
Travelling to Thiruvananthapuram Airport (TRV), also known as Trivandrum International Airport, offers a seamless gateway into the southern Indian state of Kerala. The airport is situated approximately 2.3 miles (3.7 km) from the city centre of Thiruvananthapuram and around 2.1 miles (3.4 km) from the main railway station, Trivandrum Central, making onward travel to surrounding towns and tourist destinations convenient by train, taxi, or pre-booked transfer.
From the UK, flights typically depart from London Heathrow or Birmingham, with journeys usually including a Middle East stopover on carriers such as Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways, Indigo or Oman Air. Southall Travel partners with these airlines to offer competitive fares, multi-city itineraries, and flexible booking.
Average travel time is ~12–14 hours depending on routing and layover. On arrival, expect a modern international terminal with foreign exchange, duty-free, and car hire. If you’re arriving late at night, it’s sensible to arrange transport in advance.
