Vijayawada airport is at present connected to Bengaluru, Chennai, Coimbatore, Delhi, Kadapa, Hyderabad, Tirupati and Visakhapatnam. With the government giving top priority to Vijayawada airport, its expansion is set to take place at a rapid pace while efforts are under way to revive the smaller airports at Kadapa and Puttaparthi as part of the regional connectivity scheme. “The AAI is gearing up to accommodate Boeing 747 aircraft at this airport once the extended runway is ready. The extension of the runway at the Gannavaram airport and the construction of a new, permanent terminal building will facilitate the handling of 50 lakh passengers per year in the near future. The airport is at present suitable for operation of Airbus – 320 and twin-engine turboprop short-haul aircraft.
