Aero Express was a nonstop airport bus shuttle service functioning in the city of Hyderabad, Telangana, India.[1][2] The bus shuttle was operated by a joint venture between GMR Group (49%) and TVS Logistics (51%),[3] providing frequent shuttles to and from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport. The bus service commenced operations along with the inauguration of the new airport in March 2008.
Aero Express buses ran on a half-hourly and hourly frequency both to and from the airport as a 20X7 service from the areas of Secunderabad, Begumpet, Hitec City, Charminar, Mehdipatnam, Kukatpally, Tarnaka and LB Nagar X roads. At the airport the Aero Express service was adjacent to the arrival area and located to the left of the international arrival area.
In December 2012, Aero Express was replaced by the "Pushpak - Airport Liner" service of the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (now operated by the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation). This was due to the expiration of the contract between GMR and TVS Logistics,[4] as well as the poor financial performance of the service.[5]
