The new terminal will feature modern amenities, increased passenger handling capacity, and upgraded services, reflecting the commitment to meet the increasing demand for air travel in the region. The project includes the construction of additional check-in counters, baggage claim areas, and passenger lounges, ensuring a more efficient and comfortable travel environment.

The initiative is part of a broader effort by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) to upgrade and expand infrastructure across the country. The upgraded terminal is expected to support the local economy by improving connectivity and attracting more airlines to the region, thereby boosting tourism and business opportunities.

This expansion aligns with the government's vision of modernising airport infrastructure to handle increasing passenger volumes and support regional development. Once completed, the new terminal will mark a significant milestone for Vijayawada Airport, enhancing its role as a key hub in India's aviation network.
