The modernisation of the city’s Lohegaon airport will commence on January 8 and go on for three months, with a deadline set for April 8. The ambitious project is part of the makeover initiated by the Indian Air Force (IAF) under its Modernisation of Airfield Infrastructure (MAFI) project. The MAFI project involves the upgrade of 30 Air Force bases in the country.

Makeover on the cards: With the modernisation project scheduled to begin in January, airlines operating from Lohegaon airport will be asked to adjust their flight timings. File pic
