What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

Ramnad Naval Air Station (VORM), also known as INS Parundu, is primarily an Indian naval air station and is not currently operational for commercial civilian flights. Therefore, there are no recent traveler reviews or experiences available regarding overall traveler sentiment, terminal facilities, security wait times, or transportation connections for commercial passengers.

The facility is owned and operated by the Indian Navy and serves as a crucial base for monitoring the South East Bay of Bengal, the northern Indian Ocean, the Gulf of Mannar, and the Palk Strait. While it currently supports naval operations with aircraft like IAI Heron, Searcher Mk II drones, and HAL Chetak helicopters, there are plans to open INS Parundu for civilian operations under the government's Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS), also known as UDAN. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has reportedly initiated preparatory work for this future development.

Overall, as of late 2025, Ramnad Naval Air Station (VORM) does not cater to commercial travelers, and thus, no traveler-specific reviews or experiences can be provided. Travelers looking to reach Ramnad typically use nearby commercial airports such as Madurai Airport (IXM), followed by ground transportation.
