Petition for the Establishment of Proposed Kodumon Airport in Pathanamthitta, Kerala, India
Introduction
Pathanamthitta, like many parts of Kerala, has a large number of people traveling abroad, especially to the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and other parts of the world. According to reports, Kerala has one of the highest rates of international passenger traffic in India. Many Keralites migrate for work, and the state has a robust diaspora. The demand for international flights is high, and providing more local options can make air travel more accessible to the people of Pathanamthitta and surrounding regions.
Given the high international passenger traffic from Pathanamthitta, the availability of government land in Kodumon, and the general need for more local travel options, an international airport in Pathanamthitta could greatly improve the region’s connectivity and contribute to its economic development. If the government of Kerala supports this initiative, it could provide the necessary resources to make this project a reality, benefiting both local residents and the broader state economy.
We, the undersigned, urge the Government of India to take immediate action to establish a new airport in Kodumon, Pathanamthitta. This airport will have a significant positive impact on the economy of Central Travancore, fostering growth and development in the region.
Why Kodumon Airport is Essential
Economic Growth:
Boost Local Economy:
The airport will stimulate the local economy by attracting businesses, increasing tourism, and creating job opportunities.
Agricultural Export:
Farmers in Pathanamthitta will benefit from the airport's proximity, enabling them to export fresh produce, including vegetables and flowers, to international markets daily.
Health Tourism: The establishment of the airport will support the growth of health tourism, attracting international patients seeking advanced medical treatments and traditional Ayurvedic therapies.
Infrastructure Development:
Improved Connectivity:An airport in Kodumon will enhance connectivity to other parts of India and the world, facilitating easier and faster travel for residents and visitors.
Regional Development:The development of the airport will lead to the growth of ancillary industries, such as hospitality, retail, and transportation, contributing to the overall development of the region.
Social Benefits:
Job Creation:The airport and related industries will create numerous job opportunities for local residents, reducing unemployment and improving living standards.
Educational Opportunities:
Improved connectivity will attract educational institutions and professionals to the region, enhancing educational opportunities for local youth.
Call to Action
We call on the Government of India to:
1. Conduct a Feasibility Study:
Initiate a comprehensive feasibility study to assess the potential benefits and impact of establishing an airport in Kodumon.
2. Allocate Funds: Allocate necessary funds for the construction and development of the Kodumon Airport.
3. Engage Stakeholders: Engage local stakeholders, including community leaders, businesses, and residents, to ensure that the airport meets the needs of the region.
4. Implement Infrastructure Projects: Develop the necessary infrastructure, including roads, public transport, and utilities, to support the airport and its operations.
The establishment of an airport in Kodumon, Pathanamthitta, is crucial for the economic and social development of Central Travancore. We urge the Government of India to take immediate action to make this vision a reality.

The lack of a nearby airport forces many of us to travel long distances from Trivandrum or Cochin, making journeys tedious, especially for the elderly and families with young children. A Kodumon airport will bridge this gap, ensuring easy and convenient access for the global Malayali diaspora visiting home.
Kodumon is best location for a new airport for Sabrimala temple and middle Kerala and the public with out disturbing wildlife life and forest Chruvally estate if selected will be a disaster Think wisely and act
Its a worderful area which will not have any financial burden to either Govt. or Organisation who is going lead the constructions. Further, it will be accessible for the travellers to reach easily by using Pulalur - Muvattupuzha Highway recenly made in Superior quality.
We need an airport in central Travancore which will help the area develop small towns like Adoor, pathanamthitta, pandalam ,Konni, pathanapuram and punalur will develop. And enable the small scale farmers can export their products to gulf countries aneurope with out any delay.
Absolutely it's long pending demand of Pathanamthitta....I strongly support it, more than Air ticket we pay for taxi from Kochi to Pathanamthitta, Konni, Thannithodu, Ranni etc
I'm from Pathanamthitta
Perfect location on a government land.

It will definitely boost the tourism industry of kerala. Also benefit the NRIs of the district and its neighbouring districts profoundly. You may expect a tremendous growth of sabarimala pilgrims from our neighbouring states.
