History
The club started in 1936. The foundation for the terminal building was laid by Princess Durrushevar in November 1936. The Hyderabad Aero Club was formed and it became the airfield for Nizam of Hyderabad's aircraft.[1]
The second airport was further built with the provision of a proper airport terminal building in 1937, after realising the need for a full-fledged airport for Hyderabad.
