Hey all you travel enthusiasts and aviation aficionados, have you heard the latest news about the Pune airport’s upcoming makeover? Well, hold onto your seats because it’s about to get a cultural touch like never before!
Inspired by the iconic Shaniwar Wada Gardens in Pune, the airport’s new forecourt garden design is set to bring a touch of local heritage to its surroundings. Picture beautiful Maratha arches, decorated columns with dark stone finishes, all reflecting the rich history of Maharashtra. Talk about a unique and visually stunning transformation!
But wait, there’s more! The Airports Authority of India (AAI) is spearheading this expansion project, with an estimated cost of Rs. 475 crore. And guess what? Over 55% of the work is already completed, with the new terminal expected to be up and running by August 2023. It looks like we’re in for a treat with this infrastructure upgrade aligning perfectly with the PM-Gati Shakti National Master Plan.
And in other exciting news, a new greenfield airport is in the works in Purandar, Maharashtra. This project aims to meet the growing demand for air travel in Pune and its neighboring regions. However, there’s a slight hiccup as the Ministry of Defence withdrew its no-objection certificate (NOC) for the initial site back in 2021. But fear not, a new site is in the works, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for this ambitious project.
So there you have it, folks! From traditional garden designs to state-of-the-art infrastructure plans, the Pune airport is gearing up for a major transformation. Stay tuned for more updates on these exciting developments!
