TCCI seeks review of steep parking, access charges at Thiruvananthapuram airport

The Trivandrum Chamber of Commerce and Industry (TCCI) has asked the Thiruvananthapuram International Airport authorities to review the exorbitant parking and access fees levied on passengers who frequent the airport.

In a letter addressed to the Chief Airport Officer, the industry body pointed out that the present parking and vehicle access charges at Thiruvananthapuram airport appear to be exorbitantly high when compared with those at other major airports, particularly Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL).

As per the tariffs published on the official websites, CIAL charges ₹100 for private four-wheelers for up to two hours and ₹350 for 24 hours, whereas the corresponding charges at Thiruvananthapuram airport are ₹300 for up to two hours and ₹1,000 for 4–24 hours, as reflected in the tariff schedule available.
