Buoyed by the increasing passenger patronage for its services, the Thiruvananthapuram International Airport has decided to spread its wings further by increasing the number of international services right from the beginning of 2024. The weekly air traffic movements (ATMs) will see a sharp jump in January and February, with three more new flights being introduced from the airport to various destinations.
Etihad Airlines has now started a daily service to Abu Dhabi from Thiruvananthapuram, while Oman-headquartered Salam Air will launch a new service to Muscat from January 3. Initially, the Muscat service will be on Wednesdays and Sundays. Oman Air is currently operating this route. Further, AirAsia will start service to Kuala Lumpur from February 21. The service is on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. This route is also served by Malaysia Airlines.
