Vijayawada International Airport — Vijayawada, India

Vijayawada International Airport, marked by the code VGA and also called Gannavaram Airport for the town where it is located, serves the fast-growing city of Vijayawada on the banks of the Krishna River in Andhra Pradesh. The airport gained international status in the late 2010s, a designation tied partly to Vijayawada's role as the commercial center closest to Amaravati, the state's planned new capital. Domestic routes connect VGA to Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru, Delhi, and other major Indian cities, while a smaller set of international services has linked it to destinations such as Singapore and Sharjah for the region's expatriate workforce. Managed by the Airports Authority of India, the facility has seen steady terminal upgrades to accommodate rising passenger numbers. Vijayawada itself is an important trading and agricultural hub for the Krishna delta, giving the airport a growing role in regional commerce.
