Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport at Bhogapuram, making it Andhra Pradesh's third international airport. Developed as a greenfield project with an investment of approximately ₹5,000 crore, the airport is expected to improve air connectivity across North Andhra while supporting trade, tourism, and regional economic development.

The new airport is also expected to enhance access to key cities in the region, attract fresh investments, and accelerate infrastructure-led growth. Improved connectivity could further stimulate industrial activity, logistics, hospitality, and real estate development around the Bhogapuram-Vizag corridor.

As one of the state's major aviation infrastructure projects, the airport is expected to play an important role in strengthening Andhra Pradesh's position as a growing economic and investment destination.
