Thiruvananthapuram International Airport will close runway 14/32 for recarpeting from 9 am to 6 pm daily, starting January 14, for two and a half months.
Flights will operate before 9 am and after 6 pm to minimize disruptions.
The 3,374-meter runway, last recarpeted in 2017, will undergo repairs to improve texture, friction, and efficiency. Upgrades include LED airfield lighting, enhanced signage, and a stop bar light.
Further infrastructure expansion, including terminal upgrades, is also planned.
