Ahmedabad airport moves 70 domestic flights to international terminal

70 domestic flights at Ahmedabad’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Airport will be shifted to Terminal 2, which was exclusively made for international flights.

Currently, the airport handles 250 flights, with an average of 35,000 passengers daily. At times, Terminal 1, which handles domestic flights, gets overcrowded, making it difficult for passengers. As a temporary solution, 70 domestic flights will now be shifted to Terminal 2.

Passengers have allegedly faced difficulties at the airport, especially when their families or friends come to pick them up. Due to the high number of passengers, traffic congestion around the airport has been a recurring issue, as per reports.

Considering these issues, 70 flights have been moved to Terminal 2.

Currently, Ahmedabad’s international terminal handles around 30 flights daily, with approximately 7,000 passengers. The shift of 70 domestic flights to Terminal 2 is expected to increase the congestion.

Notably, four new daily direct domestic flights have been started from Ahmedabad to Kolkata, Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, and Guwahati.

This move aims to improve connectivity with the northeastern region of India, allowing travelers to visit for work or family with less hassle and reduced travel time.
