Rajiv Gandhi International Airport also known as Hyderabad International Airport is located in Shamshabad, about 22 km distance from the twin cities of Hyderabad & Secunderabad.I visited this city last week to attend a business conference and was amazed to see this fabulous airport.It is truly a world class facility,in fact considered amongst the world's Top 5, comparable with Singapore, Seoul, Hong Kong & Beijing in terms of Airport Service Quality. The airport project is a public-private joint venture between GMR group,Malaysia Airport Holdings Berhad and both Government of Andhra Pradesh and Airports Authority of India.Present passenger handling capacity is 12 million/annum - set to grow to an astounding 40 million on completion of phase 3 of the Airport project. An excellent multi lane highway connects the airport to the twin cities. Aero express is a non stop Shuttle Service from the Airport to various destinations in the city.These AC coaches offer safe, secure & comfortable travel at reasonable rates.Tariff one way is Rs.200/-. Here are some pics taken at this magnificent airport.
