All the airports in the state have registered the growth rate by about 44 percent. Tirupati airport secured second place after Vijayawada in growth rate as 43 percent more, when compared to the corresponding period last year. Visakhapatnam airport stood as number one in passengers traffic among all the airports in Andhra Pradesh.
Rajamahendravaram airport has registered an improvement in passengers traffic, by registering 21 per cent growth. Only Kadapa Airport registered poor performance as there were a meager 6544 passengers during this period. Despite the growth in passengers traffic in Vijayawada airport, the Ministry of Civil Aviation did not address the demand of the overseas travelers by increasing outbound flights.
