Unless you’re one of the few people who’re afraid of flying and row your own raft from place to place, your first impression of a new country must be its airport. You notice the building, its architecture, the amenities and the service. Basically, your first impression of a country comes from its airport. So having an impressive airport is paramount.

In India, we adore our metropolitan city airports in Mumbai and Delhi. However, Hyderabad isn’t the first city to come to mind for having an impressive airport.
Well, most recently, Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport bagged the award for best airport service quality in the world.
The airport was selected based on a survey of 5-15 million travellers.
“WHILE THE RECOGNITION HAS DEFINITELY MADE ALL OF US PROUD, BUT WE HAVE STILL MILES TO GO.”
I think that’s the right attitude to have. Enjoy the achievement but remember it’s not the end of the road.
So many of us talk about the exemplary quality of airports abroad. We’re impressed with the scale of Heathrow in London, the efficiency of Schoenfeld in Berlin, or the shopping opportunities of the International Airport in Dubai. However, we fail to realise we’ve got many such impressive airports back home.
The win for Hyderabad is further testament to the fact that when it comes to international airports, India has arrived.
