Bhogapuram International Airport Inauguration Postponed; Official Date Pending
The inauguration of Andhra Pradesh's new Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport at Bhogapuram, initially expected on July 5, has been postponed with no official date confirmed. Local officials and the Prime Minister's Office have yet to finalize the launch schedule, though late July is anticipated. Singapore-based carrier Scoot has delayed shifting its Visakhapatnam operations to Bhogapuram, now planned for July 25. The new airport aims to replace the existing Visakhapatnam International Airport, addressing capacity constraints at the current dual-use facility.
