Pune’s Lohegaon airport has seen tremendous growth since the restrictions on domestic flights were lifted in the month of May this year following the pandemic. Although the airports have been asked to ensure social distancing norms and thorough sanitization of the flights limiting flights operations timings, passenger footfall has been increasing every month.
The airport saw a footfall of a little over 17,000 passengers in total in May 2020 which went up drastically each month and the total footfall went up to over 1.88 lakh passengers in the month of September.
Pune airport director Kuldeep Singh said, “Pune airport has seen a robust growth in passenger numbers, since May 2020. The passenger footfall in May was 17, 200 which soared to 1.88 lakh, last month. We thank the passengers for trusting our services and airport authority staff for their continuous hard work.”
