Recent operations have departed Visakhapatnam in the morning, though IndiGo shifts regional timings between schedule seasons and the move to the new airport has brought some retiming. Check the exact departure for your date before booking a cab. Search Visakhapatnam to Kurnool on FlightGPT to compare fares; it sends you to IndiGo or a travel partner to book.
Visakhapatnam's flights moved on 17 Aug, 2026 from the old city airport to Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport at Bhogapuram, about 45 km north-east of the centre. Many locals are still adjusting.
The ticket code stays VTZ, so check the terminal address on your booking rather than relying on memory.
Kurnool is a long way from Visakhapatnam by land, roughly 700 km and a full day by road, so the flight serves people who need to get there in a day. Government employees transferred between districts, staff of the district's industrial and solar projects, and families with relatives in Rayalaseema all use it. A large share of passengers are pilgrims: Kurnool district is the gateway to Srisailam's Mallikarjuna Jyotirlinga, to Mantralayam, the seat of Sri Raghavendra Swamy, and to the Narasimha temples at Ahobilam. For many families from the north coast, the flight turns a two-day trip into a weekend.
Kurnool Airport at Orvakal is a small terminal on National Highway 40, about 18 km from Kurnool town. Since only a few IndiGo flights use it each day, there is no queue of taxis waiting outside, so book a car through your hotel or a local operator in advance. The drive into Kurnool takes 30–40 minutes. Nandyal, the base for Ahobilam, Mahanandi and the Belum Caves, is about 54 km away. Pilgrims heading to Srisailam often hire one car for the entire round trip, as public transport from the airport is limited.
The ATR's arrival in Kurnool leaves enough daylight for most onward trips. Srisailam is roughly 170–180 km away through the Nallamala forest and takes about four hours; forest checkpoints on the ghat road close at night, so do not plan to arrive late. Mantralayam is about 100 km west, around two and a half hours by road, and makes an easy same-day transfer. Ahobilam needs an overnight stop for most people because the upper temples involve a trek. Book temple accommodation in advance around Maha Shivaratri at Srisailam and the Aradhana festival at Mantralayam.
IndiGo's domestic economy fares from Visakhapatnam to Kurnool include 15 kg checked baggage, one 7 kg cabin bag and a small personal item. Cabin-only fares carry no checked bag, so check the inclusions before you pay. The ATR 72 has small overhead bins, so a full-size cabin trolley may be taken at the aircraft door and returned on landing; keep medicines, documents and valuables in your personal item. Puja items, coconuts and liquids such as ghee travel best in your checked bag, sealed and packed upright.
With roughly 70 seats a flight and three flights a week, the route fills quickly at certain times. Maha Shivaratri, usually in February or March, brings heavy pilgrim traffic to Srisailam. Sankranti in mid-January is the state's peak travel week in both directions. Summer holidays in April–May raise family travel, despite Kurnool's heat, which often passes 40°C. The north Andhra coast's cyclone season, mainly October–November, can disrupt flights out of Visakhapatnam on rare days. Search early on FlightGPT when your dates are fixed.
On non-flying days, the most practical alternative is a one-stop journey: fly from Visakhapatnam to Bengaluru or Hyderabad, which both have many daily departures, then continue to Kurnool.
