Shamshabad airport update

Dear Associates ,

We wish to bring you an update on the operations of the New Hyderabad International Airport at Shamshabad

Access : An hour & 30 minutes travel time required from select points in the twin cities of Hyderabad & Secunderabad

as roads are congested during regular intervals between 0900- 2000 Hrs

Airport Shuttle-AEROEXPRESS: We would recommend that our Associates do use this Shuttle services from select city

points ,which is safe , reliable , convenient & cost effective . would also

recommend that Pooling of resources ( transportation ) be considered where ever possible , to make the airport transfers

enjoyable & further Cost effective

Radio Cabs : Associates can avail the services of GMR operated Radio Cabs ,which are safe & reliable mode of

Transportation For airport Transfers .

Easy Cabs : +91 40 43434343

Meeru : +91 40 44224422

Airport Parking : The Free parking facilities for Private vehicles presently Offered by GMR is being withdrawn with immediate

effect

Airport Utility shops : Still not fully functional and as such would caution Associates of inconvenience during delayed departures

and or Cancellation of flights

Public Announcements: It has been observed that unlike other Indian Airports , announcements regarding flight delays ,

Cancellations Etc..are restricted and even the visual information displays are either incorrect or do not happen .We would therefore

suggest that Our associates check information on departures & arrivals with the respective airline counters / ground staff once you

check in.

Arrivals : During the last one week there have been several instances of Domestic Arrivals / passengers coming through International

arrival lounge / area and even international arrival passengers coming out through International departure area on the upper Level due

to repairs & maintenance being carried out after the un-seasonal rains ..…Associates are requested to take guidance from The Airline

personnel who will be always available on Arrival side .Airlines have also reported delays in having the Aero bridges connectivity

Upon landing at Shamshabad Airport , causing delayed disembarkation.

Immigration : Associates arriving on international flights may experience long Qs at immigration since there are limited

Staff manning the counters at times.

We expect that the initial teething problems will be resolved at the earliest since there has been regular & extensive media coverage as

well on the Issues , which has made the concerned authorities to initiate corrective action .
