Pune: It has been a common observation that with the number of flights (and commuters) in and out of the city increasing manifold over the last two years, the existing approach road to Pune Airport has proved less than adequate — especially during peak hours.
In fact, traffic chaos at several junctions along the route has been creating hardships steadily for commuters, with many unable to reach the airport on time for their flights, and causing additional issues to airport staff by demanding special service. Now, to tackle this, the Airport Advisory Committee (AAC) is pushing a proposal for an additional access road to the airport, via the Phoenix City Mall.
The proposal for the new road draws a path from behind the mall, which is currently used as a parking zone. At an AAC meeting on Sunday, members put forth the demand before civic officials, demanding that they acquire this land to develop a road. "There is a need for an alternative access route to the airport. It will solve regular traffic jam issues. PMC has assured of doing the needful," said Anil Shirole, MP and chairman of AAC.
