The Union Cabinet is likely to take up the proposal to grant international status to Vijayawada airport at a meeting tomorrow.
The move follows the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh in 2014 after which the capital Hyderabad as well as the state's lone international airport situated in the city were transferred to the new state of Telangana.
The Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014, which bifurcated the state into Telangana and residual Andhra Pradesh, provides that the Centre must "examine the feasibility of expanding the existing Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada and Tirupati airports to international standards and take an expeditious decision thereon."
Earlier this year, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu had inaugurated the new transit terminal building of Vijayawada airport at Gannavaram.
