With the Sankranthi festival approaching, Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport is bracing for a significant surge in passenger traffic. The airport authorities have issued an advisory urging travelers to arrive well in advance of their flight departures to ensure a smooth and stress-free journey during the festive season.
The festive period traditionally sees a sharp increase in domestic and international travelers, with families reuniting and people heading to their hometowns. To accommodate the higher footfall, the airport has ramped up operations, including additional staff and enhanced security measures.
Passengers are advised to check in online, use self-bag-drop counters where available, and reach the airport at least three hours before domestic flights and four hours before international flights. These measures aim to reduce delays and ensure a seamless travel experience amid the festive rush.
The airport’s efforts also include frequent announcements and digital reminders to keep travelers updated on their flight schedules. By planning ahead, passengers can avoid the stress of last-minute bottlenecks and enjoy their travel during this vibrant festive season.
As one of the busiest airports in southern India, Hyderabad Airport’s proactive steps aim to maintain efficient operations while prioritizing passenger convenience during Sankranthi celebrations.
