Begumpet Airport
Begumpet Airport, coded BPM, once served as Hyderabad's main commercial airport before Rajiv Gandhi International Airport opened in 2008 and took over scheduled passenger service for the city. Sitting at 1,742 feet in elevation, the field keeps a single runway in use and has since shifted toward general aviation, flight training, and government or VIP flights rather than commercial airline routes. Begumpet's central location within Hyderabad, much closer to the city core than its successor, made it a convenient hub for decades before Hyderabad's air traffic outgrew the site. The airport retains historical importance in Indian aviation as one of the country's older airfields, even as its role has narrowed considerably.
