Several trains depart from the airport railway station towards various destinations, including the city center. Tiruchirappalli Airport is served by a railroad station, reachable by train from the city. The airport's existing runway is one of the shortest in India and one of the shortest globally, making it one of the most inaccessible airports in the country. According to the original concept, the runway would be enlarged in two stages. After being expanded to 3,200 meters (10,500 feet) from its present length of 2,480 meters (8,136 feet) in Phase 1, the runway will be extended to 3,800 meters (10,800 feet) in Phase 2, after being extended to 3,800 meters (10,800 feet) in Phase 1. (12,500 ft). Whenever the required land becomes available, AAI will submit a land request to the state government, and the extension will be completed as soon as the required land becomes available. For the land being purchased for development purposes, the district administration has said that it is prepared to pay the fair market value for the property in question.
On the other hand, the runway expansion has been put on hold for an indefinite period due to difficulties obtaining more land. Daily, the station serves around 1.40 lakh people, and it was designed to handle huge groups of commuters. A total of eleven platforms are available at the railway station at Tiruchirappalli Airport. A variety of services and facilities are available to passengers at Tiruchirappalli Railway Station, including waiting rooms and retiring rooms, cloakrooms, a reservation office, food kiosks, and other amenities.
