==History==
The club started in 1936. Air transportation in Hyderabad got a flying start when the first air show was hosted in 1937 by the "Hyderabad State Aero Club" and caught the eye of the 7th Nizam. 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.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hindu.com/2008/10/15/stories/2008101558500200.htm |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2011-04-03 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121109022903/http://www.hindu.com/2008/10/15/stories/2008101558500200.htm |archivedate=9 November 2012 |work=[[The Hindu]] |date=2008-10-15 |df=dmy-all }} </ref>

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.
