The route uses ATR 72 turboprops, which is why the flight takes around 1 hour 50 minutes for a distance a jet would cover faster.

Visakhapatnam's new airport at Bhogapuram
The biggest change on this route in 2026 is at the Visakhapatnam end. On 17 Aug, 2026, all scheduled passenger flights moved from the old airport near the city, which is shared with the Navy's INS Dega, to the new Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport at Bhogapuram in Vizianagaram district. The IATA code VTZ moved with them, so your ticket will still say VTZ.
- The new terminal is far larger, with a 3,800 m runway.
- It is about 45 km north-east of central Visakhapatnam.
- Older guides that quote a 20-minute ride to the beach road are now out of date.
From Bhogapuram into Visakhapatnam and the beaches
With the new airport about 45 km from the city, allow roughly an hour or more by taxi to reach central Visakhapatnam, RK Beach, Siripuram or the railway station, depending on traffic on the Bhogapuram–Visakhapatnam highway. App cabs and prepaid taxis operate from the terminal, and road and transit links are still being developed. If you are staying at Rushikonda or Bheemunipatnam along the coast, you are on the airport's side of the city and the drive is shorter. Vizianagaram town is also closer to Bhogapuram than Visakhapatnam is. Book a pick-up in advance for late arrivals.
Why fly from Rayalaseema to the north coast
Kurnool and Visakhapatnam sit at opposite corners of Andhra Pradesh, about 700 km apart by road, which is a full day's drive or an overnight train journey. The flight puts the state's largest city within two hours of Kurnool. Regular passengers include students heading to Andhra University, GITAM and other colleges, employees of Visakhapatnam's steel plant, port and pharma companies, and government staff. Leisure travellers come for the beaches, Kailasagiri, the submarine museum, and the Araku Valley hill station, about three to four hours inland from Vizag.
Getting to Orvakal for a late-morning flight
Kurnool Airport is on National Highway 40 at Orvakal, about 18 km from Kurnool town and 54 km from Nandyal. Allow 30–40 minutes from Kurnool. There is no public bus to the terminal, so use a taxi or your own vehicle, and arrive at least an hour before departure. The terminal is small and quiet, with limited food options, so eat before you leave. IndiGo's domestic check-in closes 45 minutes before departure, and turboprop passengers walk or are bused out to the aircraft.
IndiGo cabin and checked bag limits on the ATR
IndiGo's standard domestic economy fares include 15 kg checked baggage and one 7 kg cabin bag, plus a personal item such as a laptop bag. On the ATR 72 the overhead lockers are small, so larger cabin bags may be tagged at the aircraft and returned at the steps on arrival. Students moving to Visakhapatnam for a new term often travel with more than 15 kg; pre-paid excess baggage online is usually cheaper than paying at the counter, and on a turboprop the airline may limit how much extra it can carry on a given day.
When Kurnool–Visakhapatnam seats run short
Sankranti in mid-January is the busiest travel period on all Andhra Pradesh routes, and Vizag's coastal festivals and long weekends add to demand. College admission and term-start months, usually June–August, bring students and parents. The October–February season is the most pleasant time for Araku Valley and Vizag's beaches, so leisure travel picks up then. Cyclone season on the north Andhra coast, mainly October–November, can occasionally disrupt flights. With only three ATR flights a week, search your dates early on FlightGPT.
Connecting through Bengaluru or Hyderabad instead
If the direct flight does not run on your day, IndiGo also flies from Kurnool to Bengaluru, and Visakhapatnam has many daily jet flights from Bengaluru and Hyderabad. A one-stop journey through Bengaluru can work, though it usually takes longer overall. Another option is to drive about 215 km to Hyderabad and fly to Visakhapatnam from there. Compare all three for your date. For the reverse journey and the Bhogapuram departure, see Visakhapatnam to Kurnool.
