 A 1 billion airport modernisation plan was launched in preparation for the Commonwealth Youth Games hosted by Pune.In August 2008, AAI completed construction of two new terminal extensions for international passenger departures and arrivals, measuring nearly 12,000 sqm on either side of the 6,500 sqm old main terminal building which was inadequate for the increase in passengers and flight operations.The terminal extensions have helped ease peak-time pressure of air passengers.
