MLCP AeroMall

Multilevel car park

Five levels of parking right beside Pune’s NITB terminal

MLCP AeroMall sits directly next to Pune International Airport’s NITB, so you walk a few hundred meters under cover instead of dealing with an outdoor lot and shuttle. It’s a multilevel concrete structure, usually the main option for longer stays over 24 hours at PNQ. If you’re flying out in the morning rush, building in an extra 15–20 minutes to find a bay and get to check-in feels about right.

This is standard airport parking, not valet: you grab a ticket at entry, park yourself across multiple levels, then pay at the machine on exit. Because it’s attached to the AeroMall complex, you can step into the mall area for a coffee or snack before walking toward NITB security. For very short pickups under an hour, the ground-level lanes outside the terminal sometimes work better, but rules there change often and enforcement at PNQ can be strict.

Pricing is usually set by AAI/airport authorities and posted at the MLCP entry gate, with different slabs for 30 minutes, a few hours, and a full 24-hour block. If you’re leaving the car for 2–3 days, the multiday fees at MLCP AeroMall often come out cheaper than multiple cab rides across Pune city, especially from areas 15–20 km away like Kalyani Nagar or Hinjawadi.

The walk from the MLCP into NITB security is short but can bottleneck at peak times, especially around evening departures between 18:00 and 22:00. Lifts and ramps inside the structure mean you can move roller bags without stairs, but you may wait a couple of minutes for elevators when a big flight banks out. One practical tip: take a quick photo of your level and nearest pillar number before heading in; PNQ returns after midnight can be groggy, and the rows look very similar at 01:30.
