Staff are passenger focused and incredibly friendly and helpful, and passengers flying from Trivandrum with Qatar Airways will find this to be a pleasurable and well-organised departure point. Excellent ground facilities and easy transport to and from the airport make it convenient too.
Transportation and parking
