The city of Hyderabad is the most well connected city in India, second to New Delhi. The city offers many advantages prompting people to visit either to settle down, for employment, for investment, for tourism or for education purposes. Hyderabad has enviable infrastructure, communication, transportation and diverse employment avenue networks. It is the major IT city of India. As a result, all airlines ranging from local domestic to international fly to Hyderabad on a daily basis. Its hi-tech airport facilities coupled with world class amenities make it pleasurable and easy for international airlines. Consequently the Hyderabad flight schedule is overbooked and busy through out the year.

There are four major types of flights ranging from the direct domestic and international flights which fly non-stop to Hyderabad. These flights are affordable and take less time making it the first choice of every traveler. In 2003, the state government increased the number of flights to the city. As a result, more than 1000 domestic direct flights arrive at the domestic terminal at every hour of day and night. New terminals have been introduced and are being constructed to meet the growing demand of flights. The Hyderabad flight schedule also makes way for direct international flights from UK, USA, Australia, Europe and African airports. These flights come on a budgeted ratio and accommodate many people ranging from student to returning IT personnel, foreign investors, tourists, developers and art lovers.

Indirect international flights form more than 80% of the gross revenue earnings of the airport. These flights are not cheap due to the extra mileage covered. The flight duration is long as the flight crew changes in New Delhi or Mumbai transit stops. These flights are primarily patronized by foreign tourists who take advantage of the tour special packages. They book online tickets and avail themselves of airport transportation to tour the main sights of the transit city in a few hours. The flights also cater to investors and MNC personnel who could not get tickets on direct international flights. Indirect international flights coming from UK and Europe have tight luggage restrictions. However American flights do not carry any baggage restrictions for American passport holders. Indirect domestic flights are tailored for domestic students. These flights overlap the domestic route of indirect international flights. Advance booking on indirect domestic flights makes discounted tickets available to all Indian residents. Special charter service planes also ply on these routes for MNC and returning IT personnel. These flights run four times a week during the day.
