The Hyderabad International Airport provides a highly safe and secure environment for everyone and works closely with stakeholders like the state police, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and the security agency (Raxa) deployed to provide security and assistance to the passengers and the overall airport community, airport operator GHIAL said.
Post the resumption of operations, the airport has been handling over 25,000 passengers daily of which women passengers who pass through the airport comprise a substantial number.
