High Passenger Demand, Limited International Connectivity
Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) faces a significant gap between passenger demand and available international flights. Despite nearly two million travelers flying from Hyderabad to international destinations in 2023-24, the airport offers only a limited number of direct flights.
Missing Connections to Major Cities
The airport lacks direct connections to major global destinations, including the United States, African countries, Australia, Vietnam, and Indonesia. This is particularly noticeable for US flights, as over one million passengers traveled to cities like Dallas, Washington DC, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta, and Houston in the last financial year.
Community Petition for Direct Hyderabad-Dallas Flight
The demand for direct US flights has led to community action. Recently, 5,500 Telugu individuals signed a petition urging Air India to establish a direct route between Hyderabad and Dallas.
Limited UK Flights Compared to Other Indian Cities
Hyderabad’s international air connectivity to the UK also lags behind other Indian cities. Despite nearly 500,000 travelers visiting in the last financial year, the airport offers only one direct flight to the UK. This contrasts sharply with Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, which offer at least three daily UK flights each.
Need for Government Intervention
Travel agents and industry experts urge the state government to address this issue with the Ministry of Civil Aviation and international airlines. The lack of direct flights forces Hyderabad passengers to endure layovers in Mumbai, Delhi, Dubai, London, and Singapore, which can be inconvenient and time-consuming.
