AIP referenceVOCB — India AIP (AAI eAIP) AD 2.1 VOCB, Aerodrome Coimbatore
Operating hoursATS and security operate H24; fuelling (Jet A-1, by refueller truck only — no hydrant system) available H24 on prior notice with local agencies (IOCL, BPCL, HPCL). The AAI administrative office keeps limited hours only, Mon-Fri 0400-1230 UTC (0930-1800 IST), closed Sat/Sun/holidays. No published night curfew, but declared runway capacity is capped at roughly 12 movements/hour (max 6 arrivals or 10 departures), a real constraint at current traffic levels.
Terminals1 integrated terminal building with separate domestic and international sections (international wing added 2010); already handling well above its roughly 2 million/year design capacity, so a new Rs.2,100-2,200 crore integrated terminal is under development, targeted for completion around 2028 — expect crowding and peak-hour queuing until then
Runways (1)
- 05/23 · 2,990 m / 9,810 ft · 45 m wide · Asphalt · ILS ILS CAT I (RWY 23 only, with LOC/GP/DME; RWY 05 is non-precision — SALS and PAPI only, no localizer or glideslope)
Single-runway (05/23) airport with ILS CAT I only on RWY 23 (RWY 05 is non-precision, SALS/PAPI only), already running well above its built terminal capacity at 3,420,745 passengers in FY2025-26 (AAI, +5.2% YoY). The approved Rs.2,100-2,200 crore expansion covers both a new integrated terminal and an approximately 800m runway extension (2,990m to roughly 3,800m) to enable wide-body operations, targeted for completion around 2028 — so plan for congestion and tight declared runway-movement limits (about 12/hour: max 6 arrivals or 10 departures) in the interim. International service is limited to Sharjah (Air Arabia, Air India Express), Abu Dhabi (IndiGo) and Singapore (Scoot). ATS and security run H24, and fuelling is available H24 by refueller truck (no hydrant system), even though the AAI admin office itself is closed on weekends.
