Pune airport ranked 19th in India’s international passenger traffic

According to the statement, Pune’s rising global connectivity reflects the city’s growth as an IT hub and a rapidly expanding automobile hub driven by international industries in the Chakan MIDC region. Upgrades to the airport terminal, along with new facilities like the Aeromall and an expanded terminal building, have significantly improved passenger comfort, it said.

“Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country’s civil aviation sector has witnessed exponential growth. In the last 11 years, the Central Government has built several new airports and carried out large-scale upgrades at existing ones. Pune International Airport is a great example of this. Over the past few years, the facilities at the airport have been significantly enhanced to meet the expectations of international travellers,” said Mohol.

Hailing the achievement, Santosh Dhoke, Airport Director, Airports Authority of India, Pune Airport, noted that the future of Pune Airport looks very promising. He emphasised that the city provides a favourable environment for travellers, given its status as an educational hub and a major IT centre.

“With the pace at which our economy is growing, more people prefer air travel, and Pune has naturally become a key destination. In 2023–24, we had 9.5 million passengers. This increased to 10.5 million in 2024–25, and for 2025–26, we are expecting to cross 11.5 million. This growth trajectory shows how robust our aviation industry is,” Dhoke said.
