More domestic and international flights would depart from the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA), with the GMR Hyderabad International Airport (GHIAL) accelerating airport expansion. As construction continues, the extension is expected to be finished by 2023.
Once completed, the airport will be able to meet expanding passenger traffic demands and expand passenger handling capacity beyond 34 million people per year.
The revamped airport would have 149 check-in counters, 26 security screening machines with ATRS and 44 immigration counters. The expanded domestic and international pier buildings will have more lounges, retail and F&B outlets. With additional infrastructure added to the east and west pier buildings, there will be 44 contact gates, 28 remote departure gates and nine remote arrival gates available for smooth operations.
