Trichy International Airport (TRZ): Guide to O'Vetra Lounges
Tiruchirappalli International Airport, often called Trichy Airport, sits about 5 kilometres south of Tiruchirappalli city centre. It began life as an RAF base during the Second World War and commercial flights started in 1941. Today the airport is run by the Airports Authority of India. After receiving international status in 2012, it has grown into the third‑busiest airport in Tamil Nadu, behind only Chennai and Coimbatore. The recently opened integrated terminal spans two levels and can handle over 4.4 million passengers per year, reflecting the growing importance of Trichy as a regional hub.
With passenger numbers rising, comfortable spaces to relax before a flight are more valuable than ever.
LoungePair now offers access to two purpose‑built lounges at Trichy Airport — both operated under the O'Vetra brand, and managed by BASL, who operates the popular 080 lounges at Bengaluru Airport.
These lounges are brand‑new and, at the time of writing, LoungePair is the only place you can buy passes. They are not yet available through DragonPass, Priority Pass or other card‑based programmes.
