Singapore saw over 36,000 visitor arrivals from Pune in 2017 – the highest for an Indian city without a direct service. Recognizing Pune’s potential as a leading business and commerce centre, Jet Airways’ new flight will further help expand the scope of traffic between Pune and the neighboring regions to Singapore.

Travelers from Aurangabad, Ahmednagar, Sholapur, Kolhapur, Sangli, Satara, and Karad will find this flight convenient and an attractive option to connect on this flight to Singapore and to several cities beyond.

The key sectors of the local economy- education, manufacturing, tourism engineering and information technology (IT) will greatly benefit from this new flight and the connectivity it offers, contributing to further development of economic activities across the region.

Singapore is a well-established financial hub of the East and an immensely popular tourist destination. This island nation with its tropical charm, tourist attractions, convention centres has attracted visitors from all over the world. Over the years it has grown in the fields of education and health – hosting some of the best educational institutes and hospitals in the world.
