Vijayawada Airport. Its in Gannavaram. About 15 Kms from Vijayawada.Recently AAI has anounced plans to expand this airport and entered into a MOU with Govt of AP which enables to land big flights like boeings here.it is also planing to build a new passenger terminal with Rs80crores and create night landing and fuel refilling facilities at this airport which can tremendously increase the traffic from this place.with a vast population of NRI's from this area it has good potential to grow as a transit hub.once the cargo flights land here,it will be a major boon to vijayawada economy as agro products from costa can be exported more efficiently.according a survey 40% of air traffic to US and singapore from hyderabad and chennai are from this region only.

  • this airport is the best for viewing aeroplanes from very close on....there is a gate to the runaway which can be easily accesed ang get pretty close to planes taking off and landing
  • congress will not develop Vijayawada. CM has been promising money for Land acquisition but doesn't actually release it. Port and airport comes only if we elect TDP
  • gannavaram should be international airport then only vijayawada and new andhrapradesh can go front in this present world
  • We have have an airport like shamshabad, hyderabad. people may think that this may crazy. What is there in Vijayawada. But we build like shamshabad atleast to attract foreign and other investments to vijayawada and as well as AP. If we think we will do it later as it may not be viable now and you compramise vijayawada and AP will be the sufferer. srinivasa Rao
  • We should have atleast 4000 acres of land for vijayawada airport to meet International standards for having two runways, parking bays, hangers, carparking area, Cargo facilities as machilipatnam also may come up. As we have an airport near to Vijayawada ( Gannavaram ) having gannavaram town on one side and highway on the other side. Hence it is advisable to acquire land towards uppuluru village only. Don't think this present airport may be a temporary airport and we may build and green field airport later at a different location which is not possible in the near future. if we think like this we cannot attract foreign investments. If required make the present airport with expansion as green field airport. Please remember this is airport for the capital of Andhra Pradesh.
  • NOT ONLY HYDERABAD IN VIJAYAWADA GANNAVARAM AIRPORT IS FAMOUS RAJADHANI AIRPORT FOR EVERY PEOPLE WELCOMES U AIRPORT AUTHORITY OF INDIA
