FAQ — Accessibility at Tirupati Airport

Upon booking your flight, you may inform your airline of your need for wheelchair assistance. Alternatively, at the airport, approach the information desk or airline check-in counter and request a wheelchair. The airport has wheelchairs available.

Lifts are installed at all prominent locations in the terminal to facilitate movement between floors for PWD and those needing assistance.

Yes. Cushioned seating (three-seater cushioned chairs) are available at prominent locations so travelers who need rest often can find comfortable places.

Use the “May I Help You” information desks or contact the airport customer service via AAI’s phone line: +91-877-2275354. Staff are available to assist with wayfinding and guidance.

The “Conveniences” listing confirms that there are facilities designed for PWD usage (lifts, etc.), though specific mention of accessible restrooms is not separately listed. It is reasonable to assume such restrooms are present given the lifts and wheelchair assistance.

While public sources confirm general PWD services (wheelchairs, lifts), specific services for visual or hearing impairment (like hearing loops, Braille signage) are not documented. It’s advisable to contact the airport in advance if specialized assistance is required.

Wheelchairs and assistance are available, including help from check-in onwards. Airport staff at counters or assistance desks facilitate movement through security and to departure gates if requested.

Yes. It’s best to inform your airline while booking or at least 24-48 hours before the flight about any assistance you need (wheelchair, escort, etc.). This ensures staff and resources are prepared.

While pre-booking for wheelchairs is commonly recommended with airlines, explicit reservation of accessibility services via TIR’s info isn’t clearly documented. It’s safer to inform the airline and airport directly in advance.
