Kochi Airport & the Kerala NRI Community
Cochin International Airport is one of India's busiest airports for NRI traffic. A large proportion of passengers are Keralites traveling to and from Gulf countries (UAE, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia), as well as the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia. Kerala has one of the largest NRI populations of any Indian state.
This means a significant share of lost items at CIAL belong to passengers who cannot return to Kochi to collect them in person — they are already back in Dubai, London, or Houston. CIAL will not post or courier items internationally, creating a recovery gap that ParcelGo Global is specifically designed to fill.
