Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (AMD) in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, serves as a major international airport, handling a substantial volume of both domestic and international passenger traffic. The airport operates from two main terminals: Terminal 1 (domestic) and Terminal 2 (international). These terminals are physically separate but are efficiently connected by a complimentary inter-terminal shuttle bus service, ensuring relatively smooth transitions for passengers. Terminal 2 is a modern facility with a comprehensive layout across multiple levels, designed for high passenger volumes, with clearly defined zones for check-in, security screening, and numerous departure gates. Walking times within each terminal typically range from 10 to 20 minutes, while transfers between the domestic and international terminals may take 20-45 minutes, including shuttle wait times.\n\nSecurity procedures at AMD adhere to stringent Indian and international aviation standards, with passengers undergoing thorough screening protocols for both carry-on and checked baggage, along with personal security checks. The airport can experience varying wait times at security checkpoints, particularly during peak departure and arrival periods for international flights. It is advisable to arrive with ample time. For international arrivals and departures, dedicated immigration and customs facilities are seamlessly integrated within Terminal 2.
