With this move, the flying distance will be cut short to 1905 kms from Vizag to Bangkok while from Hyderabad and Chennai it is more than 2200 kms. In the same way, travelling to Hong Kong would take less time.
Apart from tourists, it is a boon for pharma exporters and traders operating from in and around Vizag as they could send their products to Japan via Bangkok from Vizag covering 6,412 kms.
