Visakhapatnam Airport To Remain

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has made a strong pitch to retain the Visakhapatnam airport for domestic flights even after the new Bhogapuram airport becomes operational. The party's demand is driven by the need to ensure that the existing airport continues to serve the people of the region. The Visakhapatnam airport has been a vital connectivity hub for the city and its surrounding areas. The CPI(M) argues that shutting down the airport would inconvenience a large number of passengers who rely on it for their travel needs.
