IndiGo serves Kurnool with ATR 72 turboprops, the same type it uses on its other regional routes from Orvakal to Bengaluru and Visakhapatnam. The evening timing suits officials and business travellers finishing a working day in Kurnool. Search Kurnool to Vijayawada on FlightGPT to see which days are on sale; it compares fares and sends you to IndiGo or a travel partner to book.
Kurnool Airport opened for commercial flights on 28 Mar, 2021 and sits at Orvakal on National Highway 40, about 18 km from Kurnool town. Allow 30–40 minutes by car from the city, and longer if you are coming from Nandyal, which is about 54 km away.
Vijayawada Airport is at Gannavaram, roughly 20 km north-east of the city centre on the Eluru road. A taxi to Benz Circle, MG Road or the railway station usually takes 35–50 minutes, depending on traffic. Prepaid taxis and app cabs are available at arrivals. For Amaravati and the state secretariat at Velagapudi, allow about an hour, as the route crosses the Krishna via Vijayawada. Guntur is around 50 km south of the airport. An evening arrival means you will be on the roads at the city's busy hour, so build in extra time for a dinner meeting.
Since Andhra Pradesh's government moved its focus to Amaravati, the Vijayawada–Guntur region has become the centre of state administration. That makes this flight useful for officers, politicians and contractors from Kurnool district attending meetings at the secretariat. Business travellers in seeds, cotton and agricultural trade, which are big in Kurnool, also use it. Families travel to visit relatives and for weddings in the Krishna and Guntur districts, and pilgrims combine trips to the Kanaka Durga temple on Indrakeeladri hill in Vijayawada with visits to Srisailam or Mantralayam on the Kurnool side.
By road, Kurnool to Vijayawada is about 350 km via Nandyal and Giddalur or via Markapur, and usually takes six to seven hours. APSRTC runs day and overnight buses, including air-conditioned services. Train connections between the two cities are limited and often slower than the bus. Against that, the IndiGo flight takes about an hour in the air. Once you add the drive to Orvakal, check-in time and the ride from Gannavaram into Vijayawada, door-to-door is around three and a half to four hours, still a clear saving on most days the flight runs.
IndiGo's standard domestic economy allowance applies on its ATRs too: 15 kg checked baggage and one cabin bag up to 7 kg, plus a small personal item. The ATR's overhead bins are small, so bulky cabin bags are often tagged at the aircraft and returned on arrival; keep laptops, medicines and documents in your personal item. Some fares sold without checked baggage are available, so look at the inclusions before paying. Pre-booking extra baggage online is usually cheaper than paying at the Orvakal counter, and excess may be refused if the turboprop is weight-limited.
Andhra Pradesh's festival calendar drives demand on this route. Sankranti in mid-January is the biggest travel week of the year in the state, and seats on every route out of Kurnool go quickly. Dasara, when Vijayawada's Kanaka Durga temple holds large celebrations, and Diwali also see heavy traffic. Summer holidays in May bring family travel, and the wedding muhurtams of the winter months create sudden spikes. With roughly 70 seats per flight and only three flights a week, search your dates early on FlightGPT if you are travelling around these periods.
On days without a direct flight, most people take the road or an overnight APSRTC bus. Another option is to drive about 215 km to Hyderabad and fly onward, although for Vijayawada that rarely saves time over driving straight there. Check the days the direct flight runs before you fix meetings in Amaravati or Vijayawada, and compare the bus and flight for your trip. For the journey back west, see the Vijayawada to Kurnool page, which covers the Gannavaram departure in detail.
