The Airports Authority of India operates the airport, which serves the Andhra Pradesh Capital Region.
Vijayawada International Airport (VGA), often called Gannavaram Airport after the town where it stands, serves Vijayawada and the Andhra Pradesh Capital Region, including Amaravati, in southern India. The Airports Authority of India runs it. The airfield dates back to the Second World War, when it was an army base, and it later became a civilian airport.
The airport is in Gannavaram, roughly 20 to 25 km from Vijayawada city. National Highway 16, the main Chennai to Kolkata road, passes nearby, so the drive into the city is direct.
Passengers currently use an interim terminal with check-in counters, boarding gates and basic dining. A larger integrated terminal is under construction to handle domestic and international traffic together. The single runway is long enough for wide-body aircraft.
Airlines at VGA include IndiGo, Air India and Air India Express. Domestic flights link Vijayawada with cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai. The airport holds international status, and international services run to Singapore with IndiGo and to Sharjah with Air India Express. Check the current schedule, as frequencies vary.
The Kanaka Durga Temple on Indrakeeladri hill overlooks the city and the Krishna River. The Prakasam Barrage spans the river nearby. The rock-cut Undavalli Caves and Bhavani Island make easy half-day trips.
Allow time for highway traffic between the city and Gannavaram, especially at peak hours. For international flights, arrive well ahead of departure to leave room for immigration checks in the smaller interim terminal.
