About Rajiv Gandhi International Airport
Rajiv Gandhi International Airport is the main international airport serving Hyderabad and the wider Telangana region. Opened in March 2008, it replaced Begumpet Airport and consolidated the city's commercial air traffic into a modern airport complex in Shamshabad. Located about 24 km south of central Hyderabad, the airport handles domestic and international flights through a single integrated passenger terminal, with a separate special-handling facility for Hajj passengers during the Hajj season. The airport is connected to Hyderabad by the TSRTC Pushpak Airport Liner bus service, taxis, app-based ride-hailing, private transfers and road links, making it relatively easy to reach the city centre and nearby business districts such as HITEC City and Gachibowli. With passenger lounges, shopping, dining, currency exchange, medical facilities and onward travel options, the airport functions as a major gateway for visitors arriving in the Telangana region.
