Beyond individual recognition, the Yatri Suvidha Diwas celebration served as a platform for meaningful social outreach. The airport management successfully organized several public health initiatives, including a voluntary blood donation drive, comprehensive health check-ups, and a dental camp for participants and staff. To further its commitment to environmental responsibility, a tree plantation drive was also conducted on the premises to promote a greener, more sustainable footprint.

The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) played an active role in the day's activities by performing informative skits focused on passenger safety and the necessity of responsible travel habits. These demonstrations were complemented by vibrant cultural performances from the Lepakshi group, which proudly showcased the rich heritage and traditions of Andhra Pradesh to both passengers and airport staff.
