Area Overview
What makes Lohegaon special
Lohegaon is where Pune Airport actually sits. The civil terminal shares the runway with Air Force Station Lohegaon, one of the Indian Air Force’s principal fighter bases.
That is the defining fact for anyone considering property here. Aircraft noise is a genuine and constant feature — both civil traffic and military operations, which run to their own schedule and are noticeably louder.
Beyond the airfield, Lohegaon has a village core and a growing society belt on the Dhanori and Wadmukhwadi sides, at prices well below Viman Nagar for a similar airport run.

Why choose Lohegaon?
Lohegaon puts the airport ten minutes away — closer than anywhere else in Pune — with Air Force School and Kendriya Vidyalaya within 2 km and prices well below Viman Nagar. The defining trade-off is aircraft noise: the civil terminal shares its runway with a principal Indian Air Force fighter base, and military operations run to their own schedule and are considerably louder than civil traffic. Visit at several times of day, including early morning, before deciding.
