Meanwhile, direct flights to Sindhudurg have also commenced from Pune Airport. FLY91, the newest addition to India's aviation industry, operates these flights. During the recently concluded Ganeshotsav, these flights saw strong demand as natives of the Konkan region returned to their ancestral homes to celebrate the festival and then came back again. With this, Pune is now connected with the Konkan region for the first time via air.
