Pune Airport to Implement Time-Based Entry System
Pune Airport is going to start a new system to stop cars from staying too long in the pick-up and drop-off areas.
This is because cars are staying for a long time, causing traffic jams.
The airport will time how long cars are there, and if they stay too long, they will have to pay a fine.
People who use the airport, like those going to AeroMall or waiting for cabs, will benefit from this.
This plan is similar to systems used at other airports to make things run more smoothly.
Pune Airport will introduce a time-based pick-up and drop-off system for private vehicles.
Vehicles exceeding the stipulated time will be penalized.
The airport director aims to manage congestion in arrival and departure areas.
A similar time-bound system existed in 2019 with a fine for waiting over three minutes.
Regular flyers and business professionals have reported major traffic issues.
