Air

New Pune Airport Chhatrapati Sambhaji Raje International Airport is a proposed greenfield airport project to serve the city of Pune, India. It will be built near Saswad and Jejuri in Purandar Talukas of Pune District in the Indian state of Maharashtra. The proposed airport will be spread over 2,400 hectares.[2][3] This airport will also boost trade from Pune and neighbouring districts as it will have its own dedicated cargo terminal.

Lohegaon Air Force Station serves as the main passenger airport for the city. Due to its status as a "restricted international airport", only two to four international flights can operate from there. Moreover, it is an Air Force base and has a single civil terminal which operates both international as well as domestic traffic.[7]

Almost 65 to 70 flights operate connecting major domestic destinations. This is crowding the existing airport and leading to delay of flights as the airport has only eight parking bays out of which one is used for VIP's and other is used for charter operations and the remaining carry the load of international as well as domestic flights. Hence, this led to the need for a dedicated international airport for the city as the city is one of the fastest-growing cities in India and is included in the Smart City program of the Indian government. However, until completion of the new international airport, the existing airport will be expanded with a second terminal.[8]
