Trichy Airport (TRZ), officially Tiruchirappalli International Airport, serves Tiruchirappalli, the city most people call Trichy, in central Tamil Nadu, India. It lies south-east of the city centre, about 5 km from Tiruchirappalli railway station, and is run by the Airports Authority of India (AAI). Every passenger flight, domestic or international, uses one building: the New Integrated Terminal Building, which the airport shortens to NITB.

Air India Express has a base at Trichy, and the airlines listed here include carriers from Singapore, Malaysia and Sri Lanka as well as India. This short guide covers the terminal, the airlines, getting into town, the facilities the airport lists and a few tips for departure day.

Tips for flying from Trichy Airport

Air traffic services at TRZ are listed as available around the clock, and customs and immigration are listed the same way for scheduled international flights. Your airline sets the check-in cut-off, so follow the time on your booking and allow extra for immigration on an international departure.
