Wikipedia’s figure is about 45 km. Airline passenger notices used about 48 km from the city centre and 70–100 minutes. Both can be true: they start from different points. The dedicated explainer is Bhogapuram airport to Vizag distance. How to actually make the journey: how to reach the airport from Visakhapatnam.
Distance from Vizianagaram and Srikakulam
Because the airport is in Vizianagaram district, Vizianagaram town is often closer than Vizag. Srikakulam sits further north on the same NH-16. For those two districts the new airport is a genuine time saving compared with driving into INS Dega and back out again.
Distance from Araku, Borra and the tourist belt
Hill destinations look near on a map and are not near on a clock. Araku is a half-day road. Pair sightseeing with an overnight, not a same-evening departure, unless you have a very late flight and a very early start. Place-by-place drive times: tourist places near Bhogapuram airport.
