PUNE Soon, Punekars will have more international destinations to travel to as the Airport Authority of India (AAI) Pune director has requested prominent airline companies to start the service from Pune’s Lohegaon International Airport to international destinations.
The AAI has sent the request letter mainly focusing on the Asia Pacific destinations like Bangkok, Middle East and Malaysia.Currently, there is only one international flight route, from Pune to Sharjah, three times a week. Earlier this flight was scheduled daily, but due to low response from the passengers, it has now come down to three days a week.
“We have sent request letters to all the prominent airline companies requesting to start the services to international destinations. The development of Lohegaon airport is underway and it will soon have world class facilities and infrastructure, with this we also need connectivity to international destinations.Some of these companies have positively responded to us and as per the demand and requirement from the frequent travellers, soon new international flights will start from Pune airport,” said Santosh Doke, Pune Airport director.
