Immigration Services Withdrawn at Visakhapatnam Airport

The Centre has taken a key decision concerning the aviation sector in Andhra Pradesh. The Union Home Ministry has issued orders removing Visakhapatnam Airport from the list of officially designated immigration check posts, effectively withdrawing its immigration clearance services. The decision is expected to impact international passenger operations at the existing Visakhapatnam airport. The latest order has drawn attention to the changing aviation landscape in the region.

Meanwhile, Bhogapuram Airport has been granted international status, paving the way for international flight operations from the facility. Going forward, Bhogapuram is set to handle flights arriving from and departing for overseas destinations. The changes mark a significant development for the aviation sector in North Andhra Pradesh, with Bhogapuram expected to become the region's new international aviation hub.
