Pune Airport
Pune Airport is situated 10 kilometres northeast of Pune, Maharashtra

Pune Airport, also known as Lohegaon Airport shares its runway with the Lohegaon Air Base. The airport is situated 10 kilometres north-east of Pune. It is controlled by the Airports Authority of India. From the airport domestic airlines that operate are-- Air Deccan (Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad); JetLite (Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore); Indian Airlines (Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Goa, Hyderabad); Jet Airways (Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai); Kingfisher Airlines (Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Coimbatore, Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Indore, Raipur); SpiceJet (Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad). Only Indian Airlines (Dubai, Singapore) serves by the airport as an international one.

Pune Airport The Pune Airport is basically an Air Force Base. So it was obvious that frequent clashes would take place between the AAI and the IAF over schedules of flights or landing of aircrafts at night. Eventually a basic working relationship was developed between them and both of them agreed that night landings of civilian flights would be allowed for the time being, though that was not a long term solution. As the Pune airport is under construction, all flights are scheduled from 10:30 AM to 6:30 PM. The airport has pre-paid taxicab services to and from the airport along with pre-paid auto rickshaws. There is a coach service available to various key locations in Pune.

Plans are there to establish a brand new greenfield Pune International Airport for Pune metropolitan region. The area, which is under consideration is situated between Chakan and Rajgurunagar, namely around the villages of Chandus and Shiroli, both situated at a distance of 40 km from Pune along the Pune - Nashik National highway (NH-50).
