Pune Airport Acts Amid Disruptions; Nagpur–Pune Flight Diverted, 32 IndiGo Cancellations Reported
Pune, December 5, 2025: In view of the ongoing airline operational disruptions affecting flight schedules, Pune Airport confirms that all airport teams remain fully mobilized across operations, terminal management, security, apron services, and passenger facilitation to ensure uninterrupted support and smooth terminal functioning.
Additional manpower has been deployed during night hours to supervise ground operations and coordinate closely with all stakeholders to uphold passenger safety, ensure better crowd management, and provide real-time assistance throughout the terminal.
Between 0000 hrs and 0800 hrs on 5 December 2025, a total of 16 IndiGo arrival flights and 16 IndiGo departure flights were cancelled, while one NAG–PNQ flight was diverted to Hyderabad due to Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL). Operations of all other airlines remained unaffected, and they were accommodated without any disruptions.
Parking bay congestion persisted as several IndiGo aircraft continued to occupy bays while awaiting operating crew availability. This resulted in limited bay availability and caused sequential delays to subsequent arrivals and departures across multiple carriers.
Pune Airport continues to work in close coordination with airlines, ground handling agencies, Air Traffic Control, CISF, and terminal service partners to effectively manage congestion, enhance passenger facilitation, and support the earliest possible restoration of normal flight operations.
Passenger welfare remains our utmost priority, and we sincerely appreciate the patience and cooperation of all travellers during this period, said Santosh Dhoke, Pune Airport Director.
