According to Pradeep Panicker, CEO- GHIAL, with Covid cases coming down, there was a great demand for new destinations from Hyderabad and GHIAL was continuously trying to cater to that demand.

“Our focus has also been on connecting Tier 2 cities across the nation. The gradually increasing passenger footfalls and resumption of many connections are an indication that the Indian Aviation industry is heading towards a bounce back. GHIAL is continuously trying to sustain passenger confidence in air travel with strict adherence to Covid protocols at the airport and we are supported in this effort by all our stakeholders,” he said.
