Pune Airport Runway Temporarily Closed Due to IAF Aircraft Incident
The runway at Pune airport is temporarily closed following an incident involving an Indian Air Force aircraft. While the crew is safe and there has been no damage to civil property, flight operations are disrupted, leading to diversions and delays.

Pune airport's runway is currently unavailable due to an incident involving an Indian Air Force (IAF) Sukhoi Su-30MKI aircraft, which experienced a hard landing. The IAF confirmed no injuries occurred, and there was no damage to civil property.
Restoration efforts are underway to resume normal operations, with flight activities affected until the runway is operational again. Airlines have begun adjusting schedules, and diversions have impacted at least eight flights to nearby airports.
