Airport identity

Official name: Rajiv Gandhi International Airport
IATA code: HYD
ICAO code: VOHS
Location: Shamshabad, Hyderabad, Telangana
Operator: GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited

HYD handled approximately 30.5 million passengers in FY2025–26, placing it among India’s four busiest airports. Older references based on 2019 traffic or totals below 25 million no longer describe its current scale.

Terminal capacity and expansion

Hyderabad Airport has expanded its integrated passenger facilities and continues to plan additional capacity. Proposed completion dates can change, so operators should rely on current airport information rather than treating a future terminal date as confirmed.

Business Aviation Planning at HYD

Parking, slots or prior permissions, handling, aviation fuel and customs or immigration arrangements must be confirmed for the precise aircraft and schedule. Submit operator and aircraft documents, routing, crew and passenger details, purpose of flight and requested services.

Operational considerations

Confirm parking, handling and airport acceptance before departure.
Review current NOTAMs, weather and aeronautical information.
Verify customs and immigration arrangements for international operations.
Allow adequate time for transfers between Shamshabad and Hyderabad.
Reconfirm fuel, ground equipment, catering and transport.

Parking, terminal and schedule coordination

Hyderabad is one of India’s major aviation hubs, so business aviation movements benefit from early airport coordination. Submit complete aircraft, operator, routing, schedule, passenger and crew details for permissions and handling. Confirm parking acceptance, the applicable reporting point and any slot or movement conditions before departure.

Turnaround services and hot-weather planning

The service request should define aviation fuel, ground support equipment, catering, baggage and passenger-assistance requirements. Seasonal heat can affect aircraft performance and cabin servicing, while monsoon weather may alter ramp activity. Operators should use current weather, NOTAMs and aircraft calculations and plan the ground-service sequence in advance.

CIQ and Hyderabad transfers

International flights require coordinated customs, immigration and quarantine formalities. The airport serves business districts and destinations across the Hyderabad metropolitan area, and surface travel can be lengthy during peak periods. Confirm the passenger destination, crew hotel and vehicle plan early, allowing realistic transfer time around the duty schedule.

Ground handling and aviation fuel

ATTS can coordinate permits, ground handling, aviation fuel, supervision, transport and crew or passenger support at Hyderabad, subject to airport, authority and supplier confirmation.
