Internationally, airlines can connect to South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Middle East with a flying time of about 4 hours.

Along with the MNCs and corporate, the city has strong VFR (Visiting Friends and Relatives), tourists, MSME (Micro Small and Medium Enterprises) and student traffic. In the last two years, these segments have helped the airport recover faster than any other metro airport. Compared to 55 domestic destinations pre-Covid period, the city is now connected to around 70 domestic destinations.
It is a great opportunity for airlines to reap on this influx of passenger traffic from different parts of the nation that can be transferred via Hyderabad to the world.
