Airport identity

Official name: Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport
IATA code: AMD
ICAO code: VAAH

Terminals and expansion

The airport has separate passenger-terminal facilities, but airline assignments and operating arrangements can change. A future integrated-terminal project has been discussed; planned facilities should not be presented as operational before formal commissioning.

Fixed claims about the number of destinations or countries served become outdated quickly. Route information should be checked against current airline schedules.

Business Aviation Planning at AMD

Confirm parking, slots or prior permissions, handling, aviation fuel and customs or immigration arrangements for the exact aircraft and schedule. Submit operator and aircraft documents, routing, crew and passenger details and required services.

Operational considerations

Confirm the assigned terminal, parking and handler reporting point.
Review current NOTAMs, weather and aeronautical information.
Verify customs and immigration for international operations.
Allow adequate time for Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar road transfers.
Reconfirm fuel, equipment, catering and transport.

Permissions, terminal and parking coordination

Ahmedabad handles substantial scheduled and non-scheduled traffic, making advance coordination important for business aviation. Provide the aircraft registration and type, operator, routing, schedule, passenger and crew details early. Confirm the assigned terminal, handler reporting point, parking acceptance and applicable slot arrangements before departure.

Hot-weather and turnaround planning

High seasonal temperatures can affect aircraft performance, cabin cooling and ramp working conditions. Operators should review aircraft-specific calculations and current weather alongside NOTAMs and airport information. Aviation fuel, ground equipment, catering, baggage and passenger assistance should be requested in advance, with the service order agreed for short turnarounds.

CIQ and business travel logistics

International flights require coordinated customs, immigration and quarantine formalities. Ahmedabad serves commercial and industrial destinations across the metropolitan area and Gujarat, so the passenger destination and crew hotel should be confirmed before selecting vehicles. Allow realistic road time during peak traffic and major events.

Ground handling and aviation fuel

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