‘Don’t clip the wings of Punekars’ dreams, give the city a fully functional airport’

“All roads lead to Rome” is an ancient idiom based on the fact that Rome was the focal point of all the roads in ancient Roman Empire. It was not just indicative of religious powers but also the symbol of political and economic development. For a modern city to make an equivalent claim, it would have to be “all major global airlines land here”. A well-developed and all-weather operational airport is a catalyst for economic growth and key to a city’s national and international trade relations. Unfortunately, Pune’s economic growth and development is hindered by lack of a fully operational airport.
