The interim terminal at the Hyderabad International Airport, which was recently inaugurated, will start operations from Monday (23 October), Financial Express has reported.
Interim International Departure Terminal (IIDT) has been built to facilitate the expansion of the airport. It is located adjacent to the Haj Terminal. The terminal can be accessed from Shamshabad and Srisailam sides of the airport's main approach road. For the convenience of passengers, a free shuttle service has been arranged between the existing terminal and the IIDT. This service will be available at regular intervals.
In a statement, the airport operator, GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited (GHIAL) said that passengers travelling on Air India International flights AI 127, AI 952, AI 978, AI 988, AI 966 and AI 051 are advised to report at the IITD. Some of the domestic flights may use the same terminal.
The terminal has been provided with new technologies. It boasts of the country’s first ever remote hand baggage screening facility. When coupled with the new ATRS hand baggage screening, the facility can serve twice the number of passengers at security checkpoints compared to current technologies.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
