Vijayawada International Airport (VGA/VOBZ), also known as Gannavaram Airport, is located at Gannavaram about 20 km from Vijayawada city in Andhra Pradesh. It serves the Vijayawada region and the planned capital area of Amaravati, with a modern integrated terminal handling domestic flights and limited international services. The airport is an important gateway to coastal Andhra Pradesh and the Krishna Delta.
💡 Local Tip
If you're heading to Amaravati or the capital region, arrange pickup from the Gannavaram side rather than having a driver come from central Vijayawada—it saves time and cost. Also, the terminal can get busy during early-morning departures, so clear security well before boarding.
🚖 Getting There
Prepaid taxis and app-based cabs are the most reliable options from arrivals; auto-rickshaws may be available but confirm the fare first. APSRTC buses and local transport connect Gannavaram to Vijayawada, but they are slower and less convenient with luggage. Allow 30–45 minutes to/from the city, and more during peak hours or festival season.
