Unable to find information about the schedule of direct flights from
Pune Airport (Lohegaon) is the city’s primary civil airport, positioned as a mainly domestic hub with a handful of international connections to the Gulf and nearby countries. It’s typically served by a mix of low-cost and full-service carriers — commonly IndiGo, Vistara and Air India alongside budget operators — and domestic fares can be competitive compared with larger regional hubs. The terminal sits about 10–15 km from central Pune; taxis and ride‑hailing usually take 20–40 minutes (fares vary widely), while public buses or airport shuttles can take 40–70 minutes for a much lower fare. Pros: compact layout and good access to business districts; cons: limited nonstop international links and city traffic that can lengthen transfers.
Cochin International Airport (COK) at Nedumbassery is Kochi’s primary international gateway and typically functions as a regional hub for both full-service Middle Eastern carriers and domestic low-cost airlines such as IndiGo, SpiceJet and others. Fares for domestic routes are usually competitive, while long-haul or peak-season international tickets can be pricier. The airport sits roughly 25–30 km from Ernakulam city centre; by car it’s typically a 40–60 minute trip depending on traffic, with taxi or app‑cab fares commonly ranging around INR 800–1,500. Public and private airport buses run too — expect 60–90 minutes and fares in the INR 100–250 band. Pros: modern facilities, good international connectivity and efficient ground services. Cons: it can be busy during peak periods and lacks a direct metro link to central Kochi, so late-night public-transit options may be limited.
