Bhogapuram Airport in the Vizianagaram district is preparing for a historic moment. The first aircraft is scheduled to land on January 4, 2026, marking a significant milestone for the region.
Officials are treating the event as a landmark for the airport's future.
The flight will arrive from Delhi with Union Civil Aviation Minister Rammohannaidu and Vizianagaram MP Kalisetti Appalanaidu on board. Special arrangements are being made as departments coordinate for a smooth and memorable landing.
The event is seen as a major step toward international aviation from Bhogapuram in the coming years. Construction works, including the runway, terminal buildings, air traffic control tower, security systems, and other infrastructure, are in their final stages.
Located in the Uttarandhra region, Bhogapuram Airport is expected to connect the area with the rest of India and global destinations. Both cargo and passenger services are planned, which will strengthen logistics and travel options for the region.
With Visakhapatnam developing as an IT and AI hub of Andhra Pradesh, Bhogapuram Airport is likely to boost corporate inflow, tourism, and commercial traffic. Enhanced air connectivity is expected to support economic growth across Uttarandhra.
