Getting to Hyderabad By Air

Hyderabad is well connected to many parts of the world and the rest of the country by air. It has had an airport since 1930 at Begumpet, which catered to both domestic as well as international flights in its two terminals. Today this is closed and a new state-of-the-art airport is now functional at Shamshadabad, which is in the outskirts of the city. The Hyderabad International Airport, also known as Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, began its commercial operations in March 2008. In its final stages of completion, the airport is expected to handle 40 million passengers. To reach the airport you can avail of the ‘Aero Express', the airport shuttle which runs through the day every 30 minutes.
