Analysis
In Q1 2026, the old Hyderabad airport VOHY recorded 468 movements (YoY −34.2%, down 243 movements), while the new airport VOHS arrivals jumped from 172 to 618. But the combined city-wide estimate is ~1,086 movements (vs. ~1,183 in 2025 including VOHY 711 + estimated VOHS) — still down ~8% YoY. This indicates friction loss during airport migration — some operators may be temporarily reducing Hyderabad routes due to immature ground facilities at the new airport, insufficient FBO capacity, or unfamiliarity with new approach procedures. Compared with Ahmedabad VAAH (+20.5%) and Chennai VOMM (+16.4%) strong growth, Hyderabad's transition pain is more pronounced. Fly Alliance, which plans to enter the India market, should include VOHS FBO maturity in its site evaluation. Confidence: ★★ (AviGo dual-airport data; combined estimate is approximation).
