Bhogapuram is a village in Vizianagaram district of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. It is about 40 kilometres (25 mi) north-east of Visakhapatnam.
The current Visakhapatnam Airport is a civil enclave on a naval airfield which operates only one international flight due to its status as a "restricted international airport".
The upcoming airport's foundation stone was laid by the-then Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh N. Chandrababu Naidu in February 2019 and then it was re-laid on 3 May 2023, and the project is due to be completed by March 2025.
