Pune Airport Provides Continuous Support Amid Airline Operational Disruptions
Pune Airport Ranked No. 1 In India For Service Quality, Award Ceremony On March 31
Pune, December 4, 2025: In view of ongoing airline operational disruptions affecting flight schedules, Pune Airport confirms that all operational teams across terminal management, security, apron services, and passenger facilitation remain fully mobilized to assist passengers and ensure smooth terminal functioning.
“As per the latest operational status, 8 arrival and 8 departure flights have been cancelled, 11 aircraft are currently on the ground, and 19 flights have been delayed by more than one hour,” said Santosh Dhoke, Director, Pune Airport.
The primary cause of the disruption has been the extended ground presence of multiple IndiGo aircraft awaiting availability of operating crew, resulting in the prolonged occupation of parking bays. This has severely constrained bay availability at the airport, leading to sequential delays to subsequent arrivals and departures across all airlines, irrespective of carrier, due to parking bay non-availability.
Pune Airport is working closely with all airlines, ground handling agencies, ATC, CISF, and terminal service teams to manage apron congestion, facilitate passenger support, and minimize further operational impact while flight schedules are progressively restored.
Passenger welfare remains the highest priority, and Pune Airport appreciates the understanding and cooperation of all travelers during this period of disruption.
