## Description

Adani Airport Holdings has run Thiruvananthapuram International Airport (IATA: TRV, ICAO: VOTV) under a 50-year concession since 2021, making Kerala's capital one of seven airports in the group's portfolio. The international cargo terminal handles 75–90 tonnes of exports and 450–500 tonnes of imports per day, with seafood, fresh produce, cold-chain pharmaceuticals, machinery and brass goods dominating the manifest. Route exposure is heavily skewed towards the Gulf: Air India Express, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad, Oman Air and Saudia connect TRV to Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi, the region's main freight transfer points. Customs clearance and bonded warehousing are available on site at the air cargo complex. A strong multimodal argument is the new Vizhinjam deep-water transshipment port — another Adani project — roughly 16 km away, with National Highway 66 running past the airport. Opened in 1932, TRV was Kerala's first airport and ranks among the oldest in India. For forwarders moving perishables or pharma between south India and the Middle East, it is a practical alternative to congested Kochi or Chennai.
