Pune airport gets 123 additional staff from Mumbai

Pune: The city airport has gained a lot from the Airports Authority of India's (AAI) move to redistribute its employees in Mumbai to various field stations across its western region jurisdiction in the wake of the privatisation of the Mumbai airport.
Pune airport director G Chandramouli told TOI on Wednesday that the AAI, Pune, has got as many as 123 staffers on transfer from Mumbai, to add to its existing strength of 60 employees.
"We expect more employees to join here soon," Chandramouli said. "The augmentation of staff would result in improved efficiency of work at the airport." The airport handles over 4,900 passengers on a daily basis for the 37 flights that are in operation from the city.
It may be noted that Dineshwar Prasad took charge as the deputy general manager (operations) at the Pune airport earlier this week.
According to Chandramouli, a major chunk of the employees transferred from Mumbai to Pune fall in the Group C and D categories, which includes those engaged in electrical and civil works, drivers, operators etc.
