Kottayam town is about 44 kms from the location.The site is spread over 2,570 acres (10.4 km2) of land at Cheruvally Estate in Manimala panchayath, Kanjirappally Taluk. It is also 136 km from state capital Thiruvananthapuram and 113 km from Kochi. Once commissioned, this would be the fifth airport in the State. In February 2017, the Kerala government gave in-principle approval to construct the airport and the Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation (KSIDC) was asked to conduct a feasibility study. The Sabarimala temple, situated on the Western Ghats in Kerala's Pathanamthitta district, is one of India's holiest shrines which attracts nearly 50 million visitors per season. As of December 2019, an average of 75,000 pilgrims visit Sabarimala on a daily basis ever since the beginning of the annual pilgrim season in mid-November. Presently the only way to reach the hill shrine is by road. The increase in the number of pilgrims visiting the temple had prompted the government to look at an airport as an option to reduce traffic congestion during the pilgrimage season.
