By fostering awareness and embracing inclusivity, Hyderabad Airport is setting a commendable example for other travel hubs across the country.

Hyderabad Airport is a Sunflower Friendly Airport.

A step towards inclusivity has been taken through collaboration with the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program, recognizing the diverse needs of every passenger. This initiative promotes inclusivity, acceptance, and understanding, acknowledging that some disabilities are not immediately visible to others. It serves as a simple tool for individuals to voluntarily indicate that they have a hidden disability.

By wearing the Sunflower lanyard, pin badge, or any other sunflower merchandise, passengers can discreetly signal that they may require additional assistance, understanding, or extra time while navigating the airport.
