THE SKY THAT REFUSED TO HOLD A DREAM

Kollam holds the distinction of having Kerala’s first aerodrome, established in the late 1920s. However, following a tragic air crash in 1932, the aerodrome was shut down, and a new airport was built in Thiruvananthapuram. Despite this setback, Kollam retained its importance as a transport hub, having secured railway connectivity in 1904—much before Thiruvananthapuram.
