The terminal incorporates modern passenger amenities and expanded check in, security and baggage handling arrangements to streamline traveller movement. The design allows for flexible processing zones and improved accessibility for persons with reduced mobility. Support infrastructure including apron expansion and upgraded air traffic management systems has been integrated to align with operational requirements. Passenger circulation areas are designed to reduce congestion during peak periods.

Authorities expect the new facility to strengthen regional connectivity and to attract additional services from domestic carriers, improving linkages with major hubs. The development is anticipated to support tourism and business travel and to facilitate movement of time sensitive cargo, benefitting local producers and traders. Stakeholders see the project as contributing to broader economic growth and to improved access to national and international markets. Local businesses anticipate spillover effects in related services such as hospitality and transport.

The ministry is coordinating with the state government and the airport operator to finalise the inauguration schedule and to ensure regulatory clearances are in place. Once inaugurated, the terminal will enter phased operations with airline schedules and ground handling arrangements to be announced by the operator. The opening is expected to enhance passenger experience and to provide a platform for future capacity enhancements at Rajahmundry airport. Officials will monitor performance metrics and user feedback to guide future improvements.
