Baramati lacks ATC, Ajit Pawar had pushed for airport upgrade recently

The Baramati airstrip, now managed by MADC, was slated for airport development under Ajit Pawar's initiative. Currently an uncontrolled facility relying on visual flight rules, its lack of an air traffic control tower is highlighted following a recent incident. While flight schools use radio systems, a full-time ATC for irregular chartered flights is debated, though its presence is not prohibited.
