Civil Aerodrome Post: the area around Coimbatore airport
Civil Aerodrome Post is the area around Coimbatore International Airport, on the city's east side off Avinashi Road, with Peelamedu to the west and the Trichy Road belt and Sulur to the south and east.
Investors expect continued growth linked to the airport, in cargo, logistics and hotels, but anything built close to the airport is subject to the Airports Authority of India's height limits.
Getting around
Avinashi Road links the area to Peelamedu and the city centre, and roads lead south to Singanallur and Trichy Road and east towards Sulur. Being next to the terminal is a real advantage for business travel or frequent flyers.
Peak-hour traffic on Avinashi Road can slow trips into the city, so time the drive from any property you're considering.
What's for sale, and the height limits
Land near the airport falls under the Airports Authority of India's Colour Coded Height Restriction (CCHR) zoning, which limits building height based on distance and direction from the runway.
So plots for independent houses and low-rise commercial buildings are more common here than high-rises.
| Property type | Who buys | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Low-rise residential plots | People building their own home | The CCHR height clearance before you build |
| Commercial land near the airport | Logistics and hotel investors | Zoning and the height limit |
| Farm or transitional land | Long-term land investors | The Chitta classification and any conversion |
Legal checks near Coimbatore airport
Before you buy, check the height limit for the specific survey number with the Airports Authority of India, which issues height clearance (NOC) certificates, since the limits vary a lot with the exact position relative to the runway.
Then do the usual checks: DTCP approval for plotted layouts, the Chitta classification, and a 30-year Encumbrance Certificate.
