Air Kerala is a proposed airline project, promoted by the Government of Kerala, registered as a subsidiary of the Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL).In March 2015, the board of directors of the airline decided to defer the start of commercial operations until a clear picture of relevant government rules emerged.

The airline had initially planned to commence operations in April 2013, however, the Indian government's stipulation, that an Indian airline seeking to operate international air services should first have a fleet of at least 20 aircraft and a five-year experience in operating domestic services, had put the project on the backburner.


Air Kerala was to be India's first airline with a State government as one of the primary stakeholders. The State government, CIAL and other public sector companies were together to hold 26% of the shares of the company, while the remaining 74% were to be issued to individuals and private groups.

In July 2024, UAE-based businessman Afi Ahmed announced plans to use the Air Kerala domain name, which he owns, to market scheduled commuter air transport services in Kerala. Ahmed's airline is in the process of obtaining an Air operator's certificate from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, with plans to commence operations in March 2025.
