Tiruchirappalli International Airport is located in Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India, approximately 325km away from Chennai. It is also known as the Trichy International Airport and is owned by the Airports Authority of India (AAI), a state agency.
In January 2024, the airport opened a brand-new integrated passenger terminal building. This Indian airport was expanded to accommodate the growing number of travelers and provide a comfortable travel environment.
A groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the new terminal building took place in February 2019. The project's objectives were to accommodate 3.52 million passengers by 2025–2026 and lessen peak-time airport congestion.
With sustainability at its core, the terminal design has earned a 4-star GRIHA rating. Everything has been planned with environmental harmony in mind, from low heat gain double glazing units and energy-efficient canopies and LED lighting to extensive landscaping with native flora. The project’s dedication to sustainability is demonstrated by the integration of technologies such as ground source heat pumps, HVAC, water treatment, sewage treatment plants, rainwater harvesting, and solar power plants.

Tiruchirappalli Airport's design poses to be a potent architectural emblem for Tamil Nadu.
Tiruchirappalli (Trichy) International Airport's design creates a distinct sense of place and identity by combining references to the city's local heritage and culture with a modern material palette.
Inspired by Trichy's traditional temple architecture's geometry, textures, and colors, the multi-layered facade and expressive roof form were created. Vast amounts of natural light and well-kept landscaping provide a serene setting for the large forecourt and arrivals concourse, which connect to the efficient passenger processing areas and departures lounge.

The only international airport currently serving Tamil Nadu's southern districts is Trichy, which offers significant air connectivity to the region's residents, extending as far as the Kanyakumari District. With foreign investors making significant investments in Tamil Nadu, this improved facility will support the expansion of the Indian economy.
