Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation Murlidhar Mohol announced that he had a successful meeting with all the stakeholders to finalize the transfer of 13 acres of land from Air Force to the Airports Authority of India (AAI) by October this year.
The land will be used to construct five new parking bays and three remote bays, helping the airport handle more flights smoothly. The minister confirmed that the land transfer will take place within two months after which construction work will begin immediately.
The additional parking bays will ease congestion at Pune International Airport. Arriving aircraft will be allotted parking bays quickly, ensuring quick turnaround of flights. This addition in airport infrastructure will improve punctuality and allow more flights to operate from Pune Airport.
