The Government of Kerala plans to set up a greenfield international airport named Sabarimala Greenfield International Airport, in the Kottayam district at Cheruvally Estate. Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation (KSIDC), a premier agency of the state government, will oversee the development of the upcoming airport, poised to cater for the Central Travancore and the Sabarimala Pilgrims at Cheruvally Estate.
