Even as the city lies silent, courtesy the first-of-its-kind lockdown, there is a flurry of activity at the Begumpet airport these days with the movement of helicopters, air ambulances and aircraft of the Indian Air Force (IAF).
While the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) at Shamshabad is operating relief and evacuation flights to take foreigners to their countries, the Begumpet airport is playing a key role in shifting patients from the city to their native places.
