Pune International Airport, Pune

Officially known as Pune Airport (IATA: PNQ), the facility is a civil enclave operated by the Airports Authority of India at the Lohegaon Air Force Station. While there have been recent legislative proposals to rename the site after the 17th-century saint Jagadguru Sant Tukaram Maharaj, it currently retains its original geographic designation. The airfield was established in 1939 as a base for the Royal Air Force during World War II and transitioned to handling domestic civil flights in the post-independence era without replacing a prior commercial facility. For the 2023-2024 fiscal year, Pune Airport ranked as the ninth busiest airport in India by passenger traffic, handling approximately 9.5 million travelers. Significant infrastructure developments include the inauguration of a new integrated terminal building in March 2024, which increased the annual handling capacity to 12 million passengers. Additionally, the airport has prioritized sustainability, achieving Level 3+ Neutrality in the Airport Carbon Accreditation program and utilizing a 1-megawatt solar power plant to reduce its environmental footprint. Serving as a critical gateway for the city often called the Oxford of the East, the airport supports Pune’s status as a premier global IT and automotive manufacturing hub. It facilitates essential connectivity for business professionals and students while providing access to nearby heritage sites and hill stations in the Western Ghats.
