Figure 7: Distance between warangal airport and Hyderabad airport
• There is certain minimum radius with which the aircraft can take

turn in space. The two nearby airports should be separated from

each other by an adequate distance so that the aircrafts
simultaneously landing on them do not interfere with each other.

• Distance between Rajiv Gandhi International Airport and Warangal

airport is 150km which is enough to have proximity to each other

airport.

3 Piston engine aircrafts under IFR conditions 13km (8 miles)
4. Jet engine aircrafts under IFR conditions 80km (50 miles)
