P. Vishnu Kumar Raju emphasized the importance of the city airport, mentioning that it serves a significant number of passengers, estimated in the lakhs. He highlighted that maintaining both the existing airport and any proposed facilities would enhance connectivity for the northern Andhra region.

In recent years, the demand for air travel in regions like north Andhra has been rising, owing to increased economic activities and tourism.

Local authorities and stakeholders are assessing these dynamics to ensure that infrastructure meets growing demand while balancing economic growth with community needs.
