Tiruchirappalli International Airport (IATA: TRZ, ICAO: VOTR) is an international airport that serves Tiruchirappalli in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The airport is situated on National Highway 336, approximately 5 km (3.1 mi) south of the city center, and occupies 702.02 acres (284.10 ha).[4] As of 2024, it is India's 31st busiest airport in terms of passenger traffic and the 10th busiest for total foreign aircraft movement. It is the state's second-busiest airport in terms of international connections, after Chennai International Airport, and the third-busiest airport in terms of passengers served, after Chennai International Airport and Coimbatore International Airport.[5]

With direct connections to four domestic and 10 international locations, the airport managed by the Airports Authority of India is served by two Indian and five foreign airlines. The airport was designated an international airport in October 2012 and holds ISO 9001:2008 certification.[6][7] A new passenger terminal with three aerobridges was constructed, while the airport's oldest terminal was transformed into a freight complex. Prime Minister Narendra Modi officially opened a new integrated passenger terminal in January 2024.
