Full map context: Where is Bhogapuram Airport situated?
Why does everyone think it is in Visakhapatnam district?
Three reasons. First, the airport serves the Visakhapatnam metropolitan region — that is its traffic catchment, not its administrative boundary. Second, the IATA code VTZ and the city name Visakhapatnam transferred from the old in-city airport. Third, Vizag is the nearest city most travellers have heard of, about 40–45 km away.
For administration, police jurisdiction, local body and land records, the correct district is Vizianagaram. If you are buying land near the runway, that distinction matters for the sub-registrar and VMRDA layers; start with our legal checklist.
