Pune international airport authority will soon start a cargo facility on the 1.75-acre land which will be handed over by the defence ministry in the next week.
On Monday, the airport authority held a meeting with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Girish Bapat at Pune international airport premises.
“As of now, we will set up a makeshift cargo facility on that land. The piece of land is vacant. The defence ministry had approved to transfer land in March, the hand over process is remaining,” said Santosh Dhoke, Pune airport director.
The 1.75-acre land is part of 13-acre land which the Ministry of Defence will be handing over to the airport authority.
On the remaining 11.25 acres of land defence department already has its establishments. The department will be relocating all its assets before handing land to the airport authority.
“The ministry is yet to submit its plans. Once we receive the plans the procedure for land allocation will start,” said the official from the airport authority.
