The airport opened in 1948 under the name Lohagaon Air Force Base.

Today, Pune Airport offers direct flights to various cities across India including Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru. International destinations include Muscat, Sharjah and Kuwait City among others. It is also served by many major airlines such as Air India Express, SpiceJet and IndiGo among others.

Pune Airport Reviews

Lovely Airport, Bit of Jerk While Landing But Best Experience Ever :)

★☆☆☆☆
One of the most horrible airport's I've been to. While the other airport's get revamped and upgrades, Pune Airport still remains the same. Untouched !!!! Why ? Dont you want to progress in life ? With the increase in domestic traffic and Pune becoming a secondary western export/import hub after Mumbai. It is high time they start expanding. This expansion should have started a long time ago. International flight have been stopped !! Why ? Because VAPO is not equipped with the facilities. It is high time they realize the opportunity benefits from Intl flights.

★★★★☆
Pune (Lohegaon) is basically a civilan enclave in an Armed Forces Airport (Under the Indian Air Force). The terminal is managed by the Airports Authority of India and is quite small for a city of the size of Pune. Its quite congested a place. Entering into the airport is through two levels of CISF checking. The security check is quite slow - more because departures happen in blocks and a lot of passengers reach the place at one time. The security hold is not very big, and has too little facilities. Very basic waiting area - with torn furniture at places. I couldn't find any charging points anywhere as well.
