One of the most popular air routes of flights in India is that of Pune to Delhi. Pune is a city located in the state of Maharashtra and is considered as a major transportation hub of the state. Spirited nightlife and an active lifestyle are some of the key features of the city Pune that attract tourists in huge numbers to this city every year.
As the civil airport of Pune is not capable of handling the hoard of commercial flights, most of these flights take off from the Air Force base at Lohegaon. Air Force base is placed approx. at a distance of 10 kilometres from the centre of Pune and at a drive of 45 minutes from the same. The facilities at the air force base have been undergoing constant upgradations recently in order to meet up with the internationally recognized standards.
One of the latest upgradation suggested for the air base is of setting up two new duty-free shops in the airport premises. Passengers getting off from Pune Delhi flights at Pune can take vantage of these duty free shops and buy high-priced gift items, confectionery and liquor at really affordable prices.
