๐ข Terminal Information
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. Travelers undergo standard passport control and visa checks (if applicable), followed by customs declarations. Processing times can fluctuate based on the number of concurrent international arrivals, but the airport strives for efficiency.\n\nAmenities at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport are well-developed for a major international hub. Several comfortable lounges are available for eligible passengers, including airline-specific lounges and general passenger lounges, offering quiet spaces, business facilities, and refreshments. Dining options are diverse, including a selection of cafes, fast-food outlets, and restaurants, offering both local Gujarati cuisine and international choices. Retail facilities are also extensive, featuring duty-free shops in the international terminal, stores selling local crafts and souvenirs, and convenience shops for travel essentials. Accessibility features are robust, including ramp access, accessible restrooms, elevators, and dedicated services for passengers with reduced mobility available upon request.
