Pune: The expansion work of the Lohegaon airport has begun with the front area of the terminal building being extended by around six feet.
The work began after defence authorities gave an in-principal approval to provide around 18 acre of land for the airport, in addition to 15.84 acres alloted last year. "The airport will see many projects in connection with expansion in the coming days," sources at the airport said.
"At present, the expansion work of the current terminal building of the airport has started. Besides the arrival and departure gates, the entire structure of the front side of the building is being extended to almost five to six feet. The area that witnesses the passengers walking and lining up to enter through the arrival will also be extended to almost around eight feet. Through this, the area inside the terminal building that sees a lot of works like baggage check units etc, will be increased," an airport official told TOI requesting anonymity.
