New airport in India
 Last Sunday, March 23rd a new
airport started its operation in India. The Rajiv Gandhi International Airport
is located near Shamshabad, 25 kilometers from another city, Hyderabad, and
replaces the old airport. Rajiv Gandhi Airport is expected to improve the city’s
image.
The airport can handle up to 12 million passengers a year. Atluri Subba
Rao, chairman of the Federation of Andhra Pradesh Chambers of Commerce and
Industry (FAPCCI), comments that thanks to this wonderful facility Hyderabad can
now have air connectivity to all key cities in the world. At the moment the
airport serves 21 airlines (this includes 10 domestic and 11 international ones)
flying to more than 35 destinations. Even more airlines will connect Hyderabad
in future, the British Airways and the Gulf Air among them.
Passengers can stay at the five-star airport hotel and get necessary
help at the medical centre. Several commercial projects and a railway station
are also expected in the future.
