IndiGo's daily link from Rayalaseema to Hyderabad
IndiGo is the only airline flying Kadapa to Hyderabad non-stop. Flight-tracking data from August 2026 showed seven flights a week, with departure times between about 12:55 and 15:50 depending on the day. The aircraft is typically IndiGo's ATR 72 turboprop, which suits a small regional airport like Kadapa.
The route is used heavily by families with relatives in Hyderabad, students heading to colleges in Telangana, and government and business travellers from YSR Kadapa district. Timings shift between seasons, so check your exact date on FlightGPT, compare what is available, and book with IndiGo or a travel partner. The flight is particularly useful for same-week trips that would otherwise mean two overnight bus journeys.
Kadapa Airport: getting there and checking in
Kadapa Airport sits a short drive outside the city, roughly 10 km from the centre, and has a compact single-level terminal. Allow about 20–30 minutes by auto or taxi from Kadapa town. From Proddatur, budget around 75 minutes; from Pulivendula or Rajampet, roughly an hour or more.
- Check-in counters typically open about two hours before departure.
- Carry photo ID; Aadhaar, passport or driving licence works.
- Use IndiGo web check-in, open 48 hours before departure, to save time.
With one flight a day, there is no next departure if you miss it, so leave a margin for traffic, especially around market days in town.
Is flying worth it for 305 km?
On distance alone, Kadapa to Hyderabad looks like a road trip, but the route is slow overland. The drive is about 410 km via Kurnool on NH 44, typically 7–8 hours, and trains are limited and often involve long journey times. An overnight bus is the cheapest option, at roughly 9–10 hours.
The IndiGo flight, at about 1 hour 10 minutes in the air plus an hour at each airport, saves most of a working day. For elderly passengers, patients heading to Hyderabad hospitals, or anyone with a same-day meeting, that difference matters more than the fare. Compare the flight against your total door-to-door time before deciding.
IndiGo ATR cabin and baggage rules
IndiGo's domestic economy allowance is 15 kg of check-in baggage and one 7 kg cabin bag, plus a small personal item. On the ATR 72, the overhead bins are compact; trolley bags larger than the bins may be tagged at the aircraft door and returned at Hyderabad's belt.
The ATR has 2-2 seating with no middle seat. Boarding is by stairs, which matters if you are travelling with an elderly parent: request wheelchair assistance when booking, and IndiGo staff will arrange help at both ends. Power banks must stay in the cabin, and liquids over 100 ml go in the hold.
Arriving at Shamshabad: routes into the city
Kadapa flights land at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, which handles all domestic traffic in its integrated terminal. IndiGo's ATR flights usually use a remote stand with bus transfer.
From the airport:
- Mehdipatnam and Lakdi-ka-pul: roughly 30–35 km, 45–60 minutes
- Hitec City and Gachibowli: roughly 35–40 km, 50–70 minutes
- Secunderabad: roughly 40 km, an hour or more at peak
TGSRTC's Pushpak air-conditioned buses serve these areas, and app cabs use a dedicated pickup zone. An afternoon arrival generally beats Hyderabad's evening rush, which builds after 17:30. Mehdipatnam and Tolichowki are closest for travellers staying in the western old city.
Festivals that fill the Kadapa–Hyderabad flight
Sankranti in mid-January is the busiest time on any route between Hyderabad and Andhra Pradesh. Families travel to Kadapa before the festival and return to Hyderabad just after it, so the Kadapa to Hyderabad leg is heaviest around 16–19 January. Ugadi in March or April, Dussehra in October and Diwali also drive demand.
The Ameen Peer Dargah's annual urs draws pilgrims from across India, and Vontimitta's Sri Rama Navami Brahmotsavam brings crowds in spring. With just one small aircraft a day, a few bookings can fill the flight. If your dates are fixed around Sankranti, search well ahead and compare the days either side.
Travelling with elderly parents from Kadapa
Many passengers on this flight are older family members going to stay with children in Hyderabad or travelling for treatment at Hyderabad's large hospitals. A few steps make the trip smoother. Request wheelchair assistance when you book or through IndiGo customer service at least 48 hours before departure; staff will help through security at Kadapa and from the aircraft to arrivals at RGIA.
The ATR is boarded by stairs, so mention any difficulty with steps when requesting help. Keep medicines, prescriptions and a copy of medical reports in the cabin bag. Book a cab in advance from RGIA, or have family wait at the arrivals area, since the airport is far from most residential parts of Hyderabad.
Planning a round trip from Kadapa
IndiGo flies the return sector, Hyderabad to Kadapa, on the same aircraft rotation, so timings are usually close to the inbound. That makes a same-day return impractical for most people; plan on at least one night in Hyderabad. If the flight is full, the nearest alternative airport is Tirupati (TIR), roughly 130 km away, which has several Hyderabad flights a day, including Fly91 services in October 2026.
For details from the Hyderabad end, see the Hyderabad to Kadapa flight guide, including getting to RGIA and sightseeing around Gandikota. Kurnool's Orvakal airport is another option for travellers living closer to Kurnool.
