Hey there, Pune peeps! Big news on the horizon – or should we say, in the skies? The Maharashtra government has left the long-awaited Purandar airport project out of its budget plans, leaving many scratching their heads and wondering what this means for the future of air travel in the region.
But fear not, fellow travelers! There’s a new airport in town (well, near town) – the budget announced plans for a swanky new airport near Vadhavan port, which is set to become Mumbai’s third airport. Talk about fancy!
In the meantime, we’ve got some other exciting aviation updates to share. The Navi Mumbai International Airport is gearing up to open its doors in April, and there are big plans in the works to spruce up the Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport in Nagpur, as well as make improvements at Shirdi and Belora airports.
But what about Purandar, you ask? Well, the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) is on the case, even though they didn’t expect a direct cash injection from the state budget. They’re working on acquiring land and exploring other ways to get the project off the ground.
However, not everyone is on board with the Purandar airport dream. Local farmers, who have turned barren land into lush farmland, are pushing back against the project. It looks like the runway to success might have a few bumps along the way.
So, buckle up and stay tuned for more updates on the ever-changing landscape of Maharashtra’s aviation scene. Who knows what’s next in store for the skies above us?
