Hey there, folks! Big news coming your way from Viman Nagar – Pune Airport’s swanky new Integrated Terminal Building is all set to open its doors on Sunday, July 14, 2024. And guess what? The Minister of State for Civil Aviation and Cooperation, Murlidhar Mohol, will be there to do the honors.
The buzz is that Air India and Air India Express will kick things off at the new terminal, with the first flight being Air India Flight AI – 858 from Pune to Delhi. Minister Mohol himself will hand over the boarding pass to the lucky first passenger. Talk about a grand inauguration!
The current terminal may be small at 22,000 square meters, but it manages to handle a whopping seven million passengers per year. The new terminal, with its massive 52,000 square meters of space, will up the capacity to nine million passengers per year. That’s a serious upgrade to meet the growing demand of air travel.
What’s cool about the new terminal is that it’s fully air-conditioned and has not one, but five additional passenger boarding bridges (for a total of ten). No more running across the tarmac to catch your flight! Plus, with 34 check-in counters and 25 self-check-in counters, checking in will be a breeze.
But wait, there’s more! The terminal will boast an advanced In-Line Hold Baggage Handling System, making the baggage process smoother and faster for everyone. And with a Four-Star GRIHA rating for energy efficiency, the terminal is not only functional but also eco-friendly.
Let’s not forget about the beautiful architectural details – a stunning canopy on the city side, inspired by the rich culture of Pune and Maharashtra. The airport is getting a major facelift, and we can’t wait to see it all in action.
So, get ready to fly high and experience a whole new level of travel comfort and efficiency at Pune Airport’s new terminal. Here’s to smooth sailing and happy travels ahead!
