Visakhapatnam Airport has reached a major milestone by managing 2.1 million fliers which includes both domestic and international travellers during the year 2016.
The airport witnessed footfalls of 21.01 lakh in 2016 as compared to 14.7 lakh in the year 2015. This registering a growth of around 42% in the air traffic at the Visakhapatnam airport.
