Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Calicut International Airport (CCJ) at Karipur to Kozhikode, Malappuram, Kondotty, Manjeri, Tirur and Wayanad.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Calicut International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Airport transportation in Calicut takes you from Calicut International Airport at Karipur to homes and hotels in Kozhikode city and along Kozhikode Beach, across Malappuram district from Kondotty to Manjeri and Tirur, and up into Wayanad.
Our Calicut airport transfers start at the arrivals exit of the terminal you land at, International or Domestic, where your driver meets you after customs and walks with you to the car. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, including the late-night Gulf arrivals that many travelers take.
Enter your home or hotel address in the booking form to see the vehicles available for your route, from sedans and SUVs to minivans for families and groups, priced per vehicle before you pay. Each Calicut airport transfer goes door to door, whether you are heading to a hotel in Kozhikode, a family home in Malappuram district or a resort in Wayanad, and unlike a taxi counter at the exit, your ride is arranged before you land.
Our Calicut airport shuttle is a private minivan or minibus for your party only: it leaves as soon as you are through arrivals and goes straight to your address, with no stops for other passengers. There is room for the suitcases and cartons many travelers bring back from the Gulf, so it suits families, wedding parties and groups arriving together.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Calicut International Airport (CCJ), also called Kozhikode or Karipur Airport, stands at Karipur near Kondotty in Malappuram district, on a plateau above the surrounding countryside. It has two passenger terminals: the International Terminal for flights to and from the Gulf and Kuala Lumpur, and a smaller Domestic Terminal for flights within India.
International arrivals come into a two-story arrival building with its own immigration and customs counters and baggage claim belts. Clear immigration, collect your bags, then pass through customs, using the Green Channel if you have nothing to declare. Domestic passengers go straight from the aircraft to baggage claim in the Domestic Terminal.

Yes. We drive you door to door to hotels, homes and apartments across Kozhikode, including the beach road, Mavoor Road, SM Street and the area around Calicut railway station.

Enter the full address, with a landmark if the street is hard to find, so your driver can reach the house without delay.
Often, yes. Wayanad is a longer trip inland from Calicut airport, up the hill roads to Kalpetta and the resort areas. Share the full address of your resort or homestay when you book and we'll confirm the route and a suitable vehicle before you fly. Allow a longer journey after a late-night arrival.
Yes. Many Gulf flights land at Calicut late at night or in the early hours, and you can book a pickup for any arrival time on your flight. Enter your flight number and scheduled arrival when you book, and your driver will be waiting at the arrivals exit when you come out with your bags.
We track the arrival of the flight on your reservation, so your driver adjusts to a delay. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled or diverted to another airport such as Kochi or Kannur, tell customer service as soon as you can so we can move or change your pickup.
Tell us how many suitcases and cartons you are bringing when you book. Travelers returning from the Gulf often carry extra bags and boxes, and we can assign an SUV, minivan or larger vehicle so everything travels with you in one trip. Oversized items should be mentioned in advance so the right vehicle is sent.
Yes. Book a return from your home or hotel in Kozhikode, Malappuram or elsewhere in Malabar, and give us your flight time and whether it is international or domestic. Your pickup time leaves room for the drive plus check-in, security and immigration, and your airline's check-in instructions come first.
Foreign nationals, including OCI cardholders, must complete India's free e-Arrival card online within 72 hours before landing, through the Indian Visa Online portal, the Bureau of Immigration website or the Su-Swagatam app. Indian citizens traveling on an Indian passport do not need it.
