Expansion of international terminal at SVPI Airport picks up pace

Ahmedabad: With the commencement of operations by five new international airlines from the city, the expansion work of the international terminal at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport has picked up pace.

Fly Baghdad, Malaysian Airlines, Vietnam Airlines, Thai Smile, and Thai Air commenced operations in 2023, enhancing connectivity with the Far East and facilitating access to countries such as Australia and New Zealand. Singapore Airlines has also responded to the increased passenger flow by increasing its flight frequency from four to seven.
