Andhra Pradesh chief minister Jaganmohan Reddy inaugurated the Kurnool Airport on Thursday, over two years after its first “inauguration” by his predecessor Chandrababu Naidu.
Flight operations from the airport, located at Orvakal, about 25 kms from the city, would commence from March 28, with services to Bengaluru, Visakhapatnam, and Chennai.
Kurnool is the sixth civilian airport in the state after Visakhapatnam, Tirupati, Vijayawada, Rajamundry and Kadapa.
The Rayalaseema town is the designated judicial capital of the state, as per the YSRCP government plans. Jagan had met home minister Amit Shah in January requesting the centre to issue a notification to set up the AP high court at Kurnool.
