Aaah. It's that new airport smell. Wafting in all the way from India, where Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (a.k.a. Shamshabad Airport) has officially opened for business. Flickr user Jason D Almeida already has some nice-looking snapshots of the shiny goodness posted.
HYD handles both domestic flights, and international flights to and from cities such as New York (Air India), Dubai (Emirates), Frankfurt (Lufthansa), and many more. It beat out a new airport in Bangalore, which was supposed to open in March, but is currently engaged in the typical dance of delays.
