RGIA urges passengers to reach airport early for festive rush
Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) has issued a passenger advisory warning of increased traffic ahead of the Dasara festive weekend. The advisory, released on Thursday, 15 October, asks travellers to allow extra time to reach the airport and complete check-in and security formalities.
Passengers have been advised to arrive well before their scheduled departure to avoid last-minute delays. The airport recommended using app-based cabs, prepaid taxis, car rentals, or the Pushpak luxury airport liner for travel to and from the airport. Passenger service associates will be available to assist travellers.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The advisory signals that RGIA expects a sharp surge in passenger numbers over the Dasara weekend, potentially straining check-in counters and security lanes. Travellers who ignore the warning risk missing flights if they arrive at the usual time. The airport has not specified the expected increase in footfall or any additional staff deployment, leaving passengers to gauge the rush themselves. The next step is for flyers to adjust their schedules accordingly.
