Exciting news for Pune residents as Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has given the green light for land acquisition to begin for the new international airport in Purandar. This much-needed airport is set to alleviate the operational constraints at the current Lohegaon airport and cater to the growing air traffic demands of the city.
Named after Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the Purandar airport project is a significant step towards Pune’s aviation future. With a completion deadline of June 2025, the Maharashtra government is determined to fast-track the acquisition process and ensure the airport becomes operational by 2029.
The decision to shift the airport site from Chakan to Purandar was made to overcome local protests and capitalize on the strategic location of Purandar. The new airport, spanning 2,300 hectares, is expected to boost regional connectivity, attract investments, and create job opportunities for the local community.
By setting strict timelines for land acquisition and construction, CM Fadnavis is demonstrating his commitment to accelerating the project and meeting the city’s aviation needs in a timely manner. The Purandar airport is not just a new infrastructure project but a catalyst for economic growth and development in Pune.
With the commencement of land acquisition, Pune is one step closer to having a modern and fully operational international airport that will enhance the city’s global standing and drive its future growth. The government’s proactive approach and clear directives signal a new era for Pune’s aviation landscape, promising a brighter future for the city and its residents.
