Hyderabad: The Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad is planning a second terminal and another runway to meet the growing air passenger traffic. This year the air passenger traffic have reached 3 crore mark at the RGIA and is expected to reach 4.5 crore in 2030.
According to SGK Kishore, Executive Director (South) and Chief Innovation Officer of GMR Airports, once the second terminal was grounded, 4.5 crore passenger traffic would be reached by 2030 but the ultimate Airport target is 10 crore passengers, he said.
Currently, 43 flight movement per hour at Hyderabad International Airport, and will reach 55 flight movement per hour in the next 3 to 4 years, he expressed confidence.
Union Civil Aviation minister Ram Mohan Naidu on Wednesday inaugurates the new AI-enabled digital platform and the Airport Predictive Operation Centre (APOC).

We will adopt this digital twin platform in Delhi airport in a couple of months and later in other GMR-operated airports in a phased manner, he added.
