Post-Dassehra, the Pune Airport will remain shut for all flights from
October 16-29 for carrying out repairs and maintenance works, followed
by a partial closure till November 30, officials said here on Thursday.
The
full closure for two weeks is to facilitate the runway resurfacing work
to be taken up by Indian Air Force which manages the airport.
An
announcement issued by the IAF and Pune Airport said the runway will
remain completely closed for executing runway resurfacing, followed by a
12-hour closure daily from October 30 to November 30 for installation
of AFLS on the runway.
The maintenance was scheduled for April
but was postponed to Oct-Nov, which is likely to hit the Dassehra-Diwali
holiday crowds as domestic flight operations and tourism are picking
up.
