A short walk and a glimpse of the night view of the first airport in Kerala, the Trivandrum International Airport(TRV), located at Chackai, Thiruvananthapuram. While traveling to London, I was able to get a mesmerizing night view of the Trivandrum Airport. Even though snacks and drinks are slightly on the expensive side there are lot of options and lounges available within the airport.
Trivandrum International Airport (IATA: TRV, ICAO: VOTV) is an international airport established in 1932, which primarily serves the city of Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala, India.
