Begumpet airport provides two check-in terminals; Rajiv Gandhi International and NTR National with a common arrival module. The airport handles both international and domestic traffic for Hyderabad and is the 6th busiest airport in India. It is the largest hub of Air Sahara with 126 flights. Hyderabad or HaydarÄbÄd (Telugu: à°¹à±ˆà°¦à°°à°¾à°¬à°¾à°¦à± Urdu: ØÛŒØ¯Ø± Ø¢Ø¨Ø§Ø¯ ) is the capital city of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. ...

Begumpet airport currently has 13 parking bays in operation around the new terminal block and five more are used as "night parking bays" on the Northern side, next to the old block. This is sufficient to handle the A 320 and Boeing 737. These parking bays can comfortably handle flights considering the growth rate over the next three years,

By that time the airport will be replaced by Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in March, 2008. Once this new airport becomes operational, Begumpet, which is located in the heart of the Hyderabad metropolitan area, would be used for military aviation training and for flights carrying VIPs^{[citation needed]}. The Leftist political parties have made strong representations to the civil aviation ministry to allow Begumpet airport to continue to be used for low cost civil aviation purposes for which it seems ideally suited. The Civil Aviation Ministry has put the proposal of starting an ATC training centre in the Begumpet Airport. Hyderabad International Airport is under construction near Shamshabad about 30 km from City to serve Hyderabad, India. ...

Currently, the airport has limited night landing facilities and only 40% of Andhra Pradesh's international traffic flows through the airport, due to lack of direct flights.^[1] President George W. Bush's Air Force One landed and took off from Begumpet during his visit to Hyderabad in early 2006. Begumpet airport's capacity has reportedly been exceeded in both domestic and international areas due to the rate of growth in passenger traffic, estimated at 45% p.a., last year, the highest among Indian airports. Begumpet Airport handles 20,000 passengers daily with 250 aircraft movements of 16 international and 10 domestic airlines. This implies that Begumpet's capacity endowment was more than expected to start with or it has fine tuned its slot control regime to cope better with demand. All this raises questions about the actual use to which the IAF puts this base and why it cannot be kept open in future.

The state government has great hopes of establishing new airports in 8 towns and connecting them to Hyderabad and other existing airports.
