Coimbatore Airport

Not Verified | Except the Air India counter staff member, this airport is an absolute nightmare. The executive lounge does not even have WiFi access. Planes are delayed and it's not really clean. To sum up, they call this an international airport, I call it an only-domestic one.

✅ Trip Verified | The airport international departure section was very bad. The waiting area is very dirty. The security check will begin only 1 hour before departure and you will have to wait outside until that time. The money exchange there is a loot. They charged us 75 inr for one usd which is almost 10 rs more.

Small and borderline useless. Arrivals is straightforward - plane - bridge - escalator - baggage claims - exit. Being a small airport, baggage arrival is quick. Departure is still housed in the old terminal which is damp, poorly lit, has bad shopping and little food. Thankfully its efficient, so charging points work and there are enough seats to be had. Bus boarding is on the same level as waiting and bridge boarding is in a set of brightly lit corridors on the floor above. All in all an ad-hoc renovated airport that remains small town.

In my opinion airport is not at all up to the mark. Only one aerobridge 2 duty free shop No internet facilities 1 eating outlet. Needs to improve a lot.

This airport is of a very low standard. The baggage delivery is very very slow and not enough departure gates (only two gates are there right now). On the whole this is one of the worst airport in India.

Its a pity - the city of Coimbatore is growing fast at the global level and yet the airport does not cater to international flights except for the meagre Sharjah flight . Yes it is neat and tidy but it is also getting a bit cramped. The Government at the Centre and State could look into Coimbatore as a potential for international flights. The private domestic airlines had success when they were offered permission to fly there. I feel if foreign airlines are given permission to do so they will meet with success too. In domestic flights Indian airlines did not show much regard to suitable travel times to and from Coimbatore In the international side Air India has not shown any interest at all. I feel they think it would be a loss for them to fly there. So since they are not going to lose out on anything foreign airlines or other private airlines of India could be given permission to fly to Coimbatore on international routes.

The airport is tiny! Too many passengers use this airport. The potential of this City is enormous! Government needs to show some care for Coimbatore.

Contrary to what I had expected to find at a small domestic airport the terminal was beautifully clean well laid out with the benefit of some shops friendly staff who helped us through the security and check- in process. Ladies toilets (both Indian and Western style) were acceptably clean. A/C was okay if you were standing under it. I would have no hesitation in travelling through this airport again on future visits to India. Well done to those who maintain the Airport - keep up the good work.
