VISAKHAPATNAM: Singapore-based low-cost carrier Scoot has announced that all its flight operations in Visakhapatnam will shift to the upcoming Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport at Bhogapuram from July 8, 2026, marking the first formal airline announcement ahead of the airport’s commercial operations.
According to an advisory issued by the airline, all Scoot flights currently operating from the existing Visakhapatnam Airport (VTZ) will thereafter operate from the new greenfield airport located at Bhogapuram in Vizianagaram district, around 50 km from Visakhapatnam city.
The airline stated that its check-in counters would function from Terminal-1 of the new airport and open two-and-a-half hours prior to flight departure. Passengers have been advised to arrive at least 120 minutes before scheduled departure time to complete check-in and security procedures.
The announcement assumes significance as the Bhogapuram airport project moves closer to operational readiness. In January this year, an Air India aircraft from New Delhi successfully completed the maiden trial landing at the airport.
